Full-stack development, system design, and networking — shown through work, not job titles.
2M+requests / day
Architecture · reliability · performance
At Cognizant I contributed to Spring Boot microservices at 2M+ requests/day and 99.9% uptime — optimizing a hot-path query from P99 ~250ms to ~50ms and learning what reliability under load actually requires.
7apps shipped
UI · API · data · deploy
Wildmate, JobHuntOS, AlgoChronicle, StudyGlobal, and AgriWise — complete UIs, APIs, data models, and deploys I own. WalletGyde internship: 35% engagement ↑ and 40% faster transactions while earning my Master's.
TCP/IPto the deploy pipeline
TCP/IP · routing · CI/CD · cloud
MS coursework in computer networks (TCP/IP, BGP/OSPF) plus production infra work — Docker/CI at Cognizant, AlgoChronicle's push-to-publish pipeline, and thinking about how services talk, fail, and recover.
Lap 03Work history
Production engineering at Cognizant, then a fintech internship during my MS — the work that sits behind the degree.
Full-Stack Web Developer · Denver, USA · Remote
Shipped a fintech platform during my Master's — 35% engagement ↑
Built and deployed a responsive financial platform while studying. Owned features from API design to frontend polish — recent hands-on production work during grad school.
Software Engineer · Hyderabad, India
Production foundation — contributed on systems at 2M+ req/day, 99.9% uptime
Full-time engineering before graduate school. Contributed to enterprise Spring Boot microservices — learning production reliability, on-call discipline, and shipping under load.

Where I used itCognizant — services behind 2M+ requests a day.
Opinionated Java framework for production-ready web services and microservices with minimal setup.
Where I used itCognizant — enterprise microservices at 99.9% uptime.

Lap 07Tech notes
Short takes plus a longer essay on system design in the AI era — how architecture evolved, and why it still matters when I ship.
Featured essay · 6 min read
From monoliths to microservices to LLM-aware platforms — why system design still matters for new grads shipping real products, and how I apply it in Wildmate, JobHuntOS, and production work.
