What I'm looking for

I’m interested in building reliable platforms, improving developer experience, and automating software delivery.

At Sundew Solutions Pvt. Ltd., I led the backend architecture revamp and modernization of the IIT Kanpur web portal using Drupal 10. I also implemented LDAP-based authentication and access control for institutional users.

I designed a GitLab CI/CD workflow for distributing custom WordPress plugins across approximately 80 independently maintained websites. The pipeline packages plugin changes and opens dependency-update pull requests for consuming site repositories.

In open source, I contributed a merged feature to DDEV, adding interactive project deletion and database snapshot options to its terminal UI, with automated tests. I’m transitioning toward Platform Engineering, building on hands-on work with Docker-based developer environments, Kubernetes deployments on GKE, and delivery automation.
