🎓 B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering @ Modern Institute of Technology and Research Centre 📈 CGPA: 9.61/10 | Expected Graduation: 2027 💻 Building backend systems, full-stack applications, real-time platforms, and AI-powered solutions 🌱 Open Source Contributor @ GirlScript Summer of Code

I'm a Computer Science & Engineering student focused on backend and full-stack development, with hands-on experience building production features, REST APIs, authentication systems, real-time applications, AI-powered tools, and containerized services.

I've worked with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, MongoDB, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, and AI/ML APIs, and I enjoy turning real-world problems into reliable and maintainable software.

Currently, I'm strengthening my expertise in backend architecture, API design, databases, distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and scalable application development.

🔗 GitHub

A full-stack civic complaint platform focused on secure complaint workflows, role-based operations, REST APIs, and real-time status synchronization.

Highlights:

• Built 15+ REST APIs covering authentication, complaint workflows, and role-based operations.
• Implemented JWT authentication with refresh tokens.
• Designed 3-level Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) using reusable middleware.
• Integrated MongoDB for persistent application data.
• Used Socket.IO for real-time complaint status synchronization.
• Containerized services using Docker and Kubernetes.
• Added structured logging, validation, and third-party failure handling.

An India-specific AI fairness auditing platform designed to identify localized discriminatory signals and generate understandable fairness explanations.

Highlights:

• Implemented 80+ surname-to-caste mappings for localized fairness analysis.
• Added BSEB roll-number → district decoding.
• Added PIN → rural/urban classification.
• Engineered a 5-metric fairness pipeline with a reweighting engine.
• Improved the India-weighted equity score from 42 → 88 on a Bihar scholarship dataset.
• Generated bilingual Hindi and English bias explanations using Gemini 2.0 Flash.
• Reduced inference cost to under $0.003 per full audit using structured JSON prompting.
