Rajat Hegde

I’m a B.Tech Computational Engineering student at IIT Hyderabad, and I focus on building software that’s both performant and production-minded. I enjoy translating complex problems—whether networking, ranking, or video retrieval—into systems that run reliably under real constraints.

In my Web Development Intern role at Eventzx, I developed and deployed two full-stack applications using React, Supabase, and Vercel. I implemented secure authentication, friend management, one-to-one and group messaging, and community features using Supabase Auth, PostgreSQL, and Realtime, collaborating in a fast startup environment to ship production-ready updates.

My projects mix deep technical systems work with applied AI: a Linux framework for CPU/energy-aware scheduling using Intel RAPL and a reinforcement learning agent, an event-driven Layer 4 TCP load balancer in C++ with epoll and health checks, and multi-stage semantic retrieval systems combining detection, embeddings, and vector search. I bring an engineering-first mindset, aiming to balance latency, compute, and maintainability while continuously improving accuracy and efficiency.
