About

I’m a Software Development Engineer with a strong foundation in full-stack engineering, generative AI, and cloud platforms (AWS & Azure). Currently at Kickdrum, I design and deliver scalable, intelligent systems that combine deep technical problem-solving with a focus on real-world impact. My experience spans building AI-powered workflows with LangChain, LangGraph, FastAPI, and LLMs to transform hiring processes, developing cloud-agnostic infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, Kubernetes, and ArgoCD, and optimizing backend services that scale seamlessly on AWS and Azure. I also enjoy creating full-stack applications with Java, Spring Boot, GraphQL,PHP CodeIgniter, React, Redux, and TypeScript ensuring performance, usability, and reliability go hand-in-hand. I’m passionate about solving complex problems at the intersection of software development, AI, and cloud engineering, and I’m always open to opportunities where I can build systems that make a meaningful difference. I believe technology should be both powerful and responsible. From embedding explainability and bias-mitigation into AI models to modernizing legacy systems for global adoption, I strive to build solutions that are transparent, inclusive, and built for scale. Recognized among the Top-6 at Kickdrum’s CodeXcelerator.AI hackathon, I bring not only technical depth but also collaboration and leadership experience including representing 40,000+ students as Executive Student Leader at VIT, where I graduated with a 9.5 CGPA and earned multiple merit scholarships.

  • Project : TestRail Base Team:
  • 1. Migrated 32-bit feature flag system to 64-bit, enabling multiple independent flags while maintaining backward compatibility (8.0.6 → 9.4).
  • 2. Architected secure Elasticsearch indexing for digits/special characters, reducing latency by 36% (3.9 ms → 2.5 ms) and eliminating vulnerabilities.
  • 3. Enhanced REST API in Test Plans with intelligent change detection, improving speed by ~80% (25 s → 5 s).
  • 4. Localized 90% of product into German, Spanish, and French with dynamic UI & DB-driven translations, driving global adoption.
  • 5. Debugged cross-layer issues in modular monolithic PHP (CodeIgniter) and optimized MySQL/MSSQL with soft deletes, bitwise flags, and advanced joins, accelerating large-scale reporting.
  • Project : DevOps Templated Solutions(DTS):
  • 1. Designed modular AWS infra via Terraform with remote state backend, cutting provisioning from months to <4 hrs with centralized logging via CloudWatch.
  • 2. Automated AWS resources (VPC, EKS, DynamoDB, Route 53, ECR, IAM, S3) with lifecycle policies & scanning, reducing manual ops >70%.
  • 3. Standardized Helm charts for frontend, backend, DB workloads (resource limits, health checks, ingress, ConfigMaps, Secrets), reducing onboarding time by ~60%.
  • 4. Implemented GitOps with ArgoCD and CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions for Terraform validation, scanning, Docker multi-stage builds, and zero-downtime EKS deployments.
  • 5. Integrated pre-commit Git hooks to enforce commit standards, formatting, linting, and policy checks before merge.
  • 6. Deployed a three-tier React, Express, and MySQL app on EKS and authored documentation for rapid adoption.
  • Project : Testrail EFEP:
  • 1. Created an internal guide to set up locally (cloud instance config, license switching, Dockerized DBs), reducing setup time by ~50%.
  • 2. Built responsive enterprise features page with license-specific rendering like smart popups and banners and integrated Pendo analytics for engagement tracking.

  • Impact: Delivered a production-ready cloud application capable of supporting thousands of concurrent users with high performance, security, and operational excellence.
  • 1. Led the end-to-end development of a multi-tenant hotel booking engine, building a responsive React/Redux (TypeScript, CSS, Material-UI, ShadCN) frontend and a Spring Boot + GraphQL backend on Azure Cosmos DB (PostgreSQL API with multi-region replicas).
  • 2. Optimized data handling by engineering efficient models and APIs, and implementing GraphQL to consolidate queries reducing API round-trips, improving load times, and enhancing performance on both web and mobile.
  • 3. Deployed globally via Azure Static Web Apps with Azure Front Door + Web Application Firewall (WAF), leveraging Azure Blob Storage + CDN to cut page load times by ~50%.
  • 4. Hardened security with Azure AD B2C authentication, OTP-based email verification for cancellations, and secret management in Azure Key Vault. Isolated infrastructure in a secure VNet with subnets and NSGs, following cloud security best practices.
  • 5. Ensured scalability & reliability using Azure API Management with rate limiting, Azure App Service auto-scaling (handled 3× traffic spikes), and Cosmos DB ACID transactions with optimistic concurrency to prevent race conditions achieving 100% booking accuracy.
  • 6. Automated workflows via Azure Functions integrated with Azure Communication Services to send booking confirmations, reminders, and promotional emails. Added validation at both frontend and backend for robust data integrity.
  • 7. Enabled proactive monitoring by configuring Azure Application Insights and Azure Monitor alerts (email/SMS), maintaining ~99.9% uptime through early incident detection.
  • 8.Implemented CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions for automated builds, tests, and deployments, applying best practices (elastic scaling, component decoupling) to deliver a secure, scalable, and high-availability platform.
