I am a Full-Stack Software Engineer with a strong interest in building scalable web applications, backend systems, and secure distributed services. I enjoy working across the complete development lifecycle, from designing responsive user interfaces to building robust APIs, authentication systems, and data-driven backend architectures.

One of my key projects is Briza, a full-stack social media platform featuring authentication, user profiles, follow relationships, content discovery, feed ranking, Redis-based caching, Cloudinary media management, and real-time interactions using Socket.IO. Through this project, I have gained practical experience in designing REST APIs, managing MongoDB data models, optimizing database access, and implementing real-time communication between users.

I have also developed Auth Engine, a secure authentication system using Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB/PostgreSQL, Redis, JWT, and REST APIs. It includes multi-factor authentication, OTP verification, token revocation, device/session management, and global logout. This project strengthened my understanding of authentication security, session management, and backend architecture.

Alongside development, I have a strong foundation in C++, Data Structures & Algorithms, OOP, DBMS, and problem-solving, with 375+ problems solved on LeetCode. I am particularly interested in backend engineering, scalable system design, authentication and security, real-time applications, and AI/ML integration. My goal is to work on challenging engineering problems while continuously improving my ability to design reliable, maintainable, and production-oriented software.
