About Me

I'm a Software Engineer with a passion for building scalable, performant, and secure web applications. Currently working at C3iHub @ IIT Kanpur, where I architect full-stack solutions for a Learning Management System serving thousands of users.

With experience spanning frontend frameworks like React and Next.js, backend systems with Node.js and Django, and DevOps tools like Docker and Kubernetes, I bring a holistic approach to software engineering.

Previously at Tech Mahindra, I optimized enterprise React applications, improving performance metrics by up to 40% and achieving 85% test coverage. I'm also a competitive programmer ranked in the top 3% on LeetCode with the prestigious Knight badge.
