Resume / Portfolio
I build backend systems with a handmade feel.
I like turning messy problems into practical products — fast APIs, real-time services, and cloud workflows that stay understandable.
Current focus
Realtime backends, secure cloud systems, and careful process design.
Now
Completed 3rd Year, B.Tech CSE @IIIT Kottayam.
Building side projects and open-source experience.
Stack
Go, FastAPI, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis
Practical tools for APIs, services, and automation.
About Me
A quieter, more honest snapshot of how I work and what I like building.
Backend developer who enjoys building scalable systems and real-time apps. I mostly work with Go, Node.js, and FastAPI, and care a lot about performance, clean architecture, and good developer experience.
I'm also into competitive programming (250+ DSA problems solved) and CTFs (top 10 at BITSCTF), and I like solving tricky DSA and distributed systems problems.
Currently a 3rd-year B.Tech student at IIIT Kottayam, spending time on side projects, open source, and getting better at building systems that actually scale.
A toolkit centered on backend systems, APIs, and cloud-native engineering.
These are the technologies I use most when designing scalable services and developer-friendly infrastructure.
Languages
Backend & APIs
Databases & Messaging

Cybersecurity Sublead
BetaLabs
Mentoring juniors in secure system design and practical security fundamentals while staying active in CTFs and systems-focused engineering.
Recent builds across realtime systems, microservices, and security-focused products.
A few representative projects from my recent work.
Quizzler
Real-time quiz platform with FastAPI, WebSockets, JWT auth, leaderboards, and AI quiz generation.
JustChat
Privacy-first realtime chat app using Node.js, Socket.IO, Redis, and ephemeral session handling.
Go Microservices
Production-style microservices architecture with gRPC, Kafka, RabbitMQ, and containerized services.
CryptLock
Secure password manager with client-side encryption, TOTP 2FA, and zero-knowledge style vault flows.
