I’m a Computer Engineering graduate, focused on building reliable backend systems that solve real-world problems. I bring hands-on experience with Python, C++, and SQL, and I enjoy turning requirements into dependable REST APIs.

In my internship as a Software Development Engineer Intern at NetLeap, I designed and implemented RESTful backend services using Flask and MySQL for user authentication, menu management, and order processing. I built APIs for login, add-to-cart, and order placement workflows, then optimized SQL queries and database schemas to improve performance and scalability.

Earlier, as a Security Engineer Intern at Alancesec pvt.ltd, I performed Network Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT). I used comprehensive network scanning to identify potentially exploitable open ports, analyzed scan reports, and documented findings to support security improvements.

My projects reflect how I like to ship practical solutions: an AI chatbot backend with FastAPI plus Redis session caching and MySQL conversation storage to reduce latency, a fake social media account detection app using Machine Learning and web scraping, and a Government Educational Search Policy tool built with Flask and optimized SQL. I’m passionate about scalable backend services in fast-paced engineering environments, especially where strong fundamentals in data structures, DBMS, and system design make a measurable difference.
