Rahul Harpal — Product Engineer
I'm a Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at The LNM Institute of Information Technology (LNMIIT), with a strong academic background (GPA: 9.62/10) and a deep interest in full-stack development, open-source contribution, and scalable software systems. Currently, I’m interning at Deloitte, gaining hands-on experience in solving real-world technical problems at scale. Alongside this, I’m a selected Google Summer of Code 2025 Contributor with AOSSIE, where I contribute to PictoPy, a cross-platform desktop application built with Tauri, FastAPI, and React. My work includes optimizing backend performance (6× memory efficiency), implementing multi-platform build pipelines, and revamping the UI/UX. My passion for open source extends to large-scale projects like the WordPress Gutenberg Plugin, where I’ve contributed production-ready frontend components after rigorous code reviews. I also built CF TopHacker, a browser extension with 200+ users and over 23,000 impressions on LinkedIn. I’m an active competitive programmer—Knight (1930) on LeetCode, Specialist (1505) on Codeforces, with over 700 problems solved and global ranks within the top 1% in several contests. I've contributed test cases in 10+ Codeforces rounds and helped uncover vulnerabilities in competitive submissions. As a scholarship recipient and a top-3 CS student at LNMIIT, I aim to apply my skills to impactful software engineering roles, with a keen interest in backend systems, developer tools, and high-performance applications. I’m always open to new opportunities, collaborations, and ways to grow through code.
