About

I am a Software Engineer at Asper.ai (a Fractal company), currently working as a Data Platform Engineer. I graduated from IIT Kharagpur with a Dual Degree (B.Tech + M.Tech), and since then, I’ve gained over 2 years of hands-on experience in building robust and scalable data platforms. My work spans across data platform engineering, microservices architecture, distributed systems, and low-level system design. I bring strong technical expertise in software engineering, real-time analytics, algorithms, database systems, and web technologies — with a particular focus on designing and implementing efficient, scalable systems that power data-driven decision making. I enjoy working at the intersection of infra, Data, LLM and performance engineering, and I’m passionate about building reliable platforms that scale. Passionate about undertaking projects in interdisciplinary applications of Algorithms, Control systems, and Robotics. Interned at myHQ as a software developer. Proficient in various languages - Python, C++, C, JavaScript, and softwares - Git, OpenCV, ROS, Django, Flask, MongoDB, Numpy, PyTorch, BeautifulSoup, NLTK, Scikit-Learn.
