What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a backend role where I can build secure APIs, improve reliability, and ship features in fast cycles—using Node.js, cloud tooling, and strong engineering practices (auth, testing, performance). I also enjoy teams that support learning and real impact.

I’m a backend developer focused on building reliable RESTful APIs, secure authentication, and production-ready integrations. I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (CGPA: 8.13), which shapes how I approach problem-solving and data-aware features.

In my open source work with OmegaUp, I’ve authored 60+ PRs (45 merged) for a large-scale competitive programming platform. I built features like “Problem Notes,” fixed race conditions in task assignment, optimized DAO queries, and resolved a critical Docker crash-loop to restore a smooth dev environment for contributors.

At BITAcademia, I develop backend services using Node.js, Express.js, and MongoDB. I’ve implemented JWT + bcrypt auth, addressed security vulnerabilities, and integrated Cloudinary, Multer, and excel.js to handle media and generate data exports.

I also enjoy building end-to-end solutions—like a React + Node platform for clothing swaps and an ML-powered mental health app with deployed NLP components. I’m energized by teams that value clean engineering, measurable impact, and fast iteration.
