I'm a third-year Information Technology student building low-level systems, data pipelines, and APIs in Go and Python, with an active interest in open source.

I built kitcat, a Git-compatible version control system in Go with 20+ porcelain commands, rename detection, Smart HTTP support, and CI-tested cross-platform builds. I also developed Neythaleon, a CLI ETL pipeline that streams Parquet data into PostgreSQL and includes a Go-based schema-analysis tool.

Beyond projects, I organize competitive programming events as a HackerRank Ambassador and deliver Git, Linux, and GitHub workshops through Build With Waffle. I also support open-source community events with Lucknow FOSS.
