Faridabad, Haryana, India
I’m a final-year Computer Engineering undergraduate at Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology with a 9.58 CGPA, building at the intersection of backend systems, cloud deployment, and applied AI/ML. My strongest work has been around taking ideas beyond prototypes - designing APIs, building authentication flows, working with databases, deploying systems used by real users, debugging production issues, and creating ML-backed pipelines that run end to end. At DRDO HQ, I worked as a Software Engineering & AI Intern on an end-to-end multilingual search system for noisy English-Bengali queries using BM25, E5, MiniLM reranking, and XGBoost-based fusion. The system was implemented internally as DRDO’s multilingual search toolkit, achieved 99.68% NDCG@10, ranked 2nd internationally in the CMIR 2025 Data Challenge, and was published at FIRE 2025. On the product side, I built and deployed Thapar Go, a university ride-pooling backend serving 2.5K+ monthly users and handling 95K+ requests/month. The production deployment uses AWS EC2, Docker, NGINX, Gunicorn, and GitHub Actions CI/CD, with a custom Google OAuth + JWT authentication pipeline for university-only access. I’ve also built systems across real-time stock analytics, WebSockets, SQL-heavy financial analytics, algorithmic trading strategies, and AI-agent workflows. Along the way, I’ve been a Flipkart GRID 7.0 Semi-finalist, Semi-finalist at Bhasha Bandhu Hackathon by Microsoft × Government of India, ML Trading Track Runner-Up at brAInwave 2024, and recipient of merit scholarships worth ₹8L+. My core strengths are backend development, API design, authentication, databases, DevOps, and applied AI/ML. I’m currently looking for SDE, Backend, DevOps, AI/ML, and product-focused engineering opportunities.

Worked towards the integration of special needs children into the mainstream society and organized activities to spread awareness & create a society that recognizes disabilities as different abilities:- • Went live on All India Radio on the occasion of World Disability Day to spread cognizance about the cause nationally. • 3D Designed and Printed adaptive cutlery especially curated for the needs of special children. • Conducted a free assessment campaign for the identification of special needs children in collaboration with ‘Sanjivani...a ray of hope’ in which 15-20 children were diagnosed and those with delays and disorders were identified. • Trained 20+ budding hairdressers in the Jawed Habib’s training academy, Noida. They were instructed about the techniques that should be adopted while doing a haircut of a special child with hypersensitivity. • Conducted an Adapted Sports Day at ‘Sanjivini a ray of hope’ in Paschim Vihar. The sports were specially designed by our team so that special children could participate actively in the same. • Conducted a training session for the aviation staff at GMR Airport Academy where in the staff was briefed about measures that can control the hyperactivity special children exhibit. • Fund Raising: Collaborated with Action for Autism, Vishwas Organisation and Sach Di’lites who provided us with items prepared by special children which included chocolates, purses and handbags. These goods were sold in our school’s Annual Day and Winter Carnival.
