About

I'm a Computer Science & Engineering student at VIT Vellore (Class of 2028) who builds production-grade full-stack applications — from React/Next.js interfaces to Node.js, PostgreSQL, and Docker backends. I care about systems that stay fast under load: I've cut response times under 50ms with Redis caching, processed live payments with idempotency-safe Razorpay flows, and shipped real apps serving 1,500+ users. I'm currently seeking full-stack internships and full-time roles where I can own meaningful features end-to-end.

Struggling with slow page loads, dropped database connections, or delayed project delivery?

When your application scales, the cracks start to show. Unreliable freelancers, messy codebases, and backend systems that crash under traffic spikes cost you time and money.

The Solution

I engineer systems that scale effortlessly, so you can focus on growing your business instead of fighting server fires.

High Performance

Sub-50ms response times and optimized database queries.

Reliable Delivery

Clean, maintainable code delivered on schedule.
