I’m a final-year B.Tech CSE (AI/ML) student focused on turning solid fundamentals into reliable, scalable backend features. I enjoy engineering depth from academic and self-driven projects, especially where concurrency, systems thinking, and clean APIs matter.

I built a multithreaded web crawler and search indexer in Python, using a thread pool with BFS traversal and lock-based frontier deduplication to avoid race conditions and redundant crawls. I also engineered Py-Redis-Lite, an in-memory key-value store with a multithreaded TCP server, O(1) LRU eviction, and TTL expiration via a background sweeper thread—then validated behavior across eviction and expiration edge cases.

I’m comfortable designing REST APIs over relational databases, writing unit and integration tests with pytest, and debugging production-like issues with structured error handling. Beyond backend, I’ve implemented a neural network from first principles (forward/back propagation, gradient descent) and built ML/data pipelines with Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn.
