About
I'm a backend developer and a first-year student at BIT Mesra.
I like building resilient, real-time distributed systems. I'm fascinated by the hard parts of infrastructure—things like message queues, sandboxed runtimes, and keeping systems running when upstream APIs fail.
Lately, I've been:
- Interning at Neo Labs working on production-grade Node.js infrastructure.
- Shrinking sandbox cold starts by 99% (down to 8ms) in my distributed code execution engine.
- Designing a real-time traffic simulator running over a 294-junction graph.
I've also solved 400+ DSA problems. Right now, I'm looking for a challenging backend internship during placement season where I can get my hands dirty with infrastructure.
Work Experience
- Architected a real-time OpenAI financial circuit breaker across API and worker nodes using Redis atomic evaluation (MULTI/LUA), enforcing per-user and global daily hard caps that mitigated runaway embedding loops and protected production budgets from uncapped LLM costs.
- Resolved a silent-failure gap across 7 production workers where jobs exhausting retries vanished without a trace, implementing a standardized dead-letter-queue handler with audit logging that restored failure visibility platform-wide.
- Built an asynchronous data-export pipeline generating user data as JSON/PDF, uploading to Azure Blob via SAS-signed URLs, and triggering push/in-app notifications on completion via a shared FCM/APNs dispatcher.
- Devised a two-step direct-to-blob audio upload flow (client-side SAS PUT, server-side confirm) with size-spoofing protection and mime validation, wiring successful uploads into the transcription pipeline.
Education
- G.P. Birla Scholarship (2x) — Awarded twice for outstanding academic performance.
- Branch Topper — Ranked 1st in Electrical & Electronics Engineering in Semester 1.

A timeline of things I've built — from side projects to production apps.
Distributed, sandboxed code-execution platform.
Built a distributed sandboxed execution platform with a pre-warmed container pool, real-time log streaming and self-healing job recovery.
- Designed a distributed, sandboxed execution platform with a pre-warmed container pool, cutting sandbox startup time by 99% (8ms vs. 2s cold start) and reducing runtime latency to <230ms.
- Implemented a fault-tolerant job lifecycle using BullMQ and Redis to enforce a deterministic state machine, with self-healing DLQ routing and exponential backoffs for recovery across worker crashes.
- Developed a real-time observability pipeline using Redis Pub/Sub and WebSockets to stream stdout/stderr logs and execution traces live to the client.
- Orchestrated a 4-service architecture with Docker Compose and deployed on AWS EC2 behind an Nginx reverse proxy with CI/CD via GitHub Actions.
Built a real-time traffic simulation over a 294-junction road graph that computes optimized fleet dispatch and barricade plans, with deterministic fallbacks for third-party outages.
- Engineered a real-time traffic simulation on a 294-junction road graph using weighted BFS with time-of-day cascade multipliers to dynamically compute optimized fleet dispatch and barricade plans per event.
- Assembled an async Node.js backend with WebSockets, Redis Pub/Sub and BullMQ to broadcast 30-second simulation ticks and live spatial telemetry with sub-second delivery.
- Integrated Groq LLMs, Mappls API and Twilio (WhatsApp) for routing and alerts, with a multi-layer deterministic fallback — rule-based plans on Groq failure, haversine routing on Mappls outage.
- Containerized a 5-service stack with Docker Compose, deployed to AWS EC2 with Nginx reverse proxy for WebSocket upgrading, and configured GitHub Actions CI/CD gating on all service builds.
