I have interned at a silicon valley based startup @Support Vectors AI Labs and a hyderabad startup called NextDNA Edutech where I worked on CuriousAtoms

Interests and Activities

  • Backend: Backend development is my forte. I enjoy building robust and scalable systems that solve real-world problems. My core tech stack is Python, Django, PostgreSQL. Recently, I have delved into Java and Spring Boot and have built some cool projects around it!
  • Open Source: I actively create and contribute to open source projects. I believe in the power of collaborative development and the freedom it brings to software creation. I actively contribute to fossology and like to make and break open source tech in my day to day life.
  • Conferences: I love participating in hackathons and attending conferences and talks about programming and software. Recently, I have gotten the opportunity to present my work at PyCon India ‘25. I am keen to make it impactful. I have attended numerous conferences in the past including PyDelhi and OOSC IITK.
  • Community Building: I co-founded an open source community at my college called ZHCET Code Oasis. Our mission is to foster a culture of open source contribution and collaboration among students.
