Building Systems
That Scale.

I'm a Software Engineer with 2+ years of production experience building scalable backend and full-stack applications. At CarDekho, I shipped seller management, auction, payment, and workflow automation systems that served tens of thousands of users daily.

Currently finishing my MS in Computer Software Engineering at Arizona State University (GPA 3.97), where I focus on distributed systems, cloud-native architecture, and data engineering. I hold an Integrated Dual Degree from IIT (BHU), Varanasi.

I get obsessed with event-driven design, reactive APIs, and infrastructure that just doesn't break.

Things I've Built.

Featured

Anime Recommendation Platform

Full-stack recommendation system with content-based scoring engine, event-driven Kafka pipeline, Redis caching, and containerised microservices.

JWT-secured non-blocking REST APIs via Spring Boot WebFlux
Kafka pipeline: user interaction → async event → cache invalidation → fresh recs
Scoring engine: genre similarity, ratings, watchlist boosts, disliked exclusions
Fully containerised: Docker Compose + Kubernetes manifests

Graph Data Analytics Pipeline

Scalable graph analytics pipeline on large-scale trip & location datasets using BFS and PageRank via Neo4j Graph Data Science.

Parquet → Neo4j graph ingest (nodes, edges, routes)
BFS for reachability · PageRank for location importance
Kafka streaming ingestion layer
Orchestrated with Docker + Kubernetes (Minikube)

Depression Risk Prediction

End-to-end ML classification pipeline with ensemble learning, optimised for recall and F1-score on imbalanced health data.

Preprocessing, feature engineering, imbalance handling
LR · Random Forest · Gradient Boosting comparison
Soft-voting ensemble → 94% accuracy, F1: 0.82
Optimised for recall — critical in risk-prediction
