I've built scalable Python backend systems, including Socket Talk, a distributed real-time messaging platform using FastAPI, WebSockets, and AsyncIO for concurrent client connections and low-latency broadcasting.

For TaskFlow API, I architected a RESTful task-management backend with authentication, pagination, PostgreSQL schemas, SQLAlchemy, dependency injection, validation, and structured error handling. I also built a multithreaded HTTP forward proxy server from scratch using TCP sockets and HTTP protocol handling.

As a Linux Foundation LFX Mentee, I contributed two merged pull requests to SONiC, a production-grade networking codebase. I worked with maintainers through GitHub reviews and technical discussions to fix test execution and traffic-generation issues.

I'm also building AI applications with Hugging Face, LangChain, prompt engineering, and future-ready RAG pipelines, grounded in computer science fundamentals including algorithms, operating systems, networking, and distributed systems.
