Full-stack developer building AI-powered real-time platforms and scalable systems with TypeScript and Python foundations.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I build production-grade AI and real-time systems end-to-end, focused on reliability, low latency, and smooth user experiences. Recently, I shipped an AI chat platform serving ~5,000 users by isolating concurrency per worker lane and preventing DB-blocking long-running AI calls.
I’m also hands-on with streaming and correctness—token-level delta delivery over Socket.IO, a replay journal for seamless resume after disconnects, and real-time abort handling. In open source, I’ve contributed 8+ merged PRs, including a runtime WebSocket URL fix and leading a multi-PR notification system migration with shared abstractions and codebase-wide enforcement.
Beyond chat, I develop full-stack workflows like a double-blind, role-based academic peer review platform using PostgreSQL with Prisma and Zod validation, plus zero-touch CI/CD on GitHub Actions and AWS SSM for automated EC2 deployments. I enjoy pushing complex data problems in projects like a collaborative canvas with conflict-free CRDTs and exactly-once RabbitMQ processing, and an audiobook synthesis pipeline driven by NER-to-voice and segment stitching.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Research Project Developer
Amity University
Aug 2025 - May 2026 (9 months)
Built and shipped an AI chat platform serving ~5,000 users using a dual-lane background worker architecture with MongoDB-backed distributed locks to prevent duplicate scheduled execution. Implemented real-time token-level streaming over Socket.IO with replay journaling and disconnect-driven aborts so clients can resume mid-response without re-invoking the model.
Full Stack Developer
Etthos
Jan 2026 - Mar 2026 (2 months)
Built a role-based academic workflow (Author, Reviewer, Editor) supporting double-blind peer review and strict manuscript lifecycle management. Developed a PostgreSQL-backed data layer with Prisma and Zod validation, and deployed a zero-touch CI/CD pipeline using GitHub Actions with AWS SSM-driven automated EC2 deployments, including synchronized DB migrations and release health checks.
Open Source Contributor
Palisadoes Foundation
Nov 2024 - Feb 2025 (3 months)
Contributed 8+ merged PRs to Talawa by removing a misconfiguration vector, deriving the WebSocket URL at runtime from the existing API URL and eliminating the redundant REACT_APP_BACKEND_WEBSOCKET_URL env var. Led a multi-PR notification migration introducing a shared NotificationToast abstraction, enforcing the pattern via ESLint restrictions, and migrating 10+ screens away from direct react-toas
