I'm a dual-degree student at IIT Kharagpur who likes problems where correctness and throughput pull against each other — concurrency, caching, consensus, and the messy middle where AI systems meet real infrastructure.

Most of what I build is backend: a Redis-compatible server written from scratch in C++17, a CRDT-backed collaborative workspace that survives eight people editing at once, and an AI interview platform that keeps its latency budget by falling back across three LLM tiers. I care about the numbers — 1.2s to 700ms, 90% fewer writes, 1,000+ concurrent connections.

Away from the editor I compete: Expert on Codeforces (1725), 4-star on CodeChef, and a national finalist at Smart India Hackathon 2025.

Next up: I'll be joining BlackRock as a Software Engineering Intern for Summer '27.

It's the gym and guitar. Four to five days a week I'm lifting — progressive overload is basically the same feedback loop as shipping code, just measured in plates instead of pull requests. The guitar is the opposite kind of practice: no metrics, no deploys, just an hour of getting a riff slightly less wrong than yesterday.
