India

Message

At Kiroku Notes, I built a RAG tutor that answers from a student’s notes, with page-level citations and guardrails against hallucination. I also designed an adaptive learning engine that personalizes explanations and practice based on topic mastery.

For Cricklo, I architected the backend for a live cricket scoring platform, using Redis, PostgreSQL, BullMQ and Socket.IO to manage and broadcast match state. I also implemented tournament features and reduced API response time from 500ms to 200ms.

At ITS12 Giftworld, I developed a personalized-gifts e-commerce site as the solo full-stack intern, including product customization and Razorpay checkout. My projects include an LLM-agent benchmark and an asynchronous web crawler and scraper.
