About

With deep expertise in Kotlin, Java, Go, Android SDK, Dagger/Hilt, Retrofit, Node.js, Spring Boot, MongoDB, Docker, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions, I excel in crafting high-performance software solutions. As a Full Stack Engineer at 0Chain, I specialize in Android development and backend engineering, delivering innovative solutions for decentralized cloud storage. I have developed Android apps Bolt and Vult, ensuring seamless integration with blockchain-based storage systems and robust system performance. Passionate about open source, I’ve contributed to Oppia, GNOME, and Google Summer of Code, designing CI/CD pipelines, enhancing build processes, and mentoring developers. Beyond coding, I actively lead development sessions, organize hackathons, and drive innovation in software engineering at my college.
