What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an opportunity to build AI-powered or full-stack products, contribute to scalable APIs and real-time applications, and grow through hands-on engineering challenges.

I built Newslyst, an AI-powered news aggregator that collects 100+ AI articles and videos daily, summarizes content with OpenAI LLMs, and delivers personalized daily digests through an automated five-stage pipeline.

I've also developed Pingly, a real-time MERN chat application supporting instant messaging under 100ms, and Ridezy, a JWT-secured car rental platform with 20+ REST APIs and an admin dashboard. I bring hands-on experience across Java, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, MySQL, LLMs, RAG, and deployment on Vercel and Render, alongside strong problem-solving demonstrated through 250+ coding problems solved across platforms.
