What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative engineering role building scalable backend systems where I can apply Java, system design, and grow into larger product responsibilities.

I am an aspiring software developer with strong foundations in Java, backend development, and system design, currently completing an M.Tech at IIT Bombay. I bring hands-on experience from research, internships, and self-driven projects that emphasize scalable architectures and practical engineering.

My M.Tech research project built a VR-based learning solution integrated with generative AI, implementing a full voice pipeline (Whisper STT → GPT-4 → TTS) and dynamic avatars in Unity 3D (C#); the evaluation with 27 ESL learners showed statistically significant gains.

I have implemented backend systems such as a Java Spring Boot URL shortening service with Base62 encoding, MySQL persistence, and REST APIs, and multiple core CS implementations including LRU cache, producer–consumer multithreading, and a token-bucket rate limiter.

I actively contribute to technical operations and student organizations, having served as Web & System Secretary at my department and led cultural team roles; I seek to apply my engineering skills to build robust, user-focused systems in a collaborative environment.
