• Introduced a microkernel-based drop-in plugin system that enables seamless integration of new features like payments, analytics, and AI tools without modifying the core API, Admin, or App codebases. A dedicated plugin manager will handle plugin discovery, activation, and updates, while predefined extension points will allow plugins to inject functionality where needed. The system includes a secure, CDN-backed plugin store with cryptographic validation, support for containerized AI/ML plugins, and ready-to-use plugins such as a payment gateway and an AI summarizer powered by Hugging Face models. This architecture will improve scalability, foster community contributions, and make Talawa more adaptable to future needs.

• As a Software Development Intern at Uniqlabs, I worked across the full development stack to deliver impactful internal tools and automation systems. I built a dynamic multi-step form application for collecting structured product requirements, and developed a serverless AWS Lambda-based extractor to convert unorganised input into actionable documentation. I also designed a modular chatbot UI and engineered a Twilio-integrated bot to automate module scraping and real-time messaging. In addition, I created a scalable, production-ready frontend for the chatbot, and implemented a machine learning-powered CCTV notification system to deliver targeted alerts based on live video feeds. This internship sharpened my skills in building secure, efficient, and user-friendly applications that solve real business problems.
