B.Tech ECE student at IIIT Nagpur building production-grade infrastructure, cloud systems, and developer tools. I design things that scale — from 13-container microservice suites to offline AI tooling.
Skills & Technologies
Things I've Built
Docker-native data extraction toolkit — three purpose-built scrapers (LetsNScrape, ytNscrape, SnapNScrape) deployable with a single command. 30,000+ lines of production code spanning microservices, ML-assisted video pipelines, and triple-fallback OCR scraping. All published on DockerHub.
Cross-platform desktop application for virtual disk optimization. Recovers unused space from .vhd, .vmdk, .qcow2 and more across Windows & Linux. Features TOTP MFA, PBKDF2-SHA256 auth, RSA-4096 key support, and intelligent detection of active Docker/WSL/VM environments.
Fully offline AI codebase context generator. Scans project directories and produces structured documentation using a local LLM (Ollama / Qwen2.5-Coder) — zero data leakage, no API costs. Ships as standalone binaries for Windows & Linux plus a VS Code extension.
Comprehensive developer tooling ecosystem — custom CLI (like Git/Docker), real-time file watcher with background daemon, VS Code extension with graphical project visualization, all packaged in an NSIS Windows installer.
Enterprise-level multi-company HR platform with RBAC (5 roles), analytics module, PDF report generation, audit logs, OTP-based auth via Brevo API. Dual database architecture — PostgreSQL for transactions, MongoDB for flexible personnel data. Fully containerized.
Full infrastructure automation for WSL2 — Apache2 virtual hosts, BIND9 DNS with custom zone files, UFW firewall rules, and automated resolver configuration. Multi-method validation (dig, nslookup, curl) with timestamped backup-before-change safety.
Shell toolkit to audit and repair Git commit identity across multiple repositories. Fixes the silent problem of commits excluded from GitHub's contribution graph due to mismatched local emails (WSL, multiple machines). Batch audit + git filter-branch rewrite with timestamped reports.
Two research papers in Digital Image Processing. VLSI low-power design of a clock-gated CMOS 4-bit PIPO register comparing AND/XOR gating at 0.12µm. ITAE-optimized PID tuning for DC motor speed control using MATLAB fmincon constrained optimization.

Beyond the Code
I love solitude — genuinely. Silence lets me think clearly, build deeply, and stay honest with myself.
But I've learned that the right company makes life richer in ways solitude never can.
I don't separate what I love from what I do. Coding is not just a skill I picked up for a job —
it's something I'd do on a weekend with no deadline, no audience, just a problem and a blank editor.
If I could see a game being built — the physics engine, the render pipeline, the netcode, the DevOps behind a live update pushing to millions —
I'd consider that a dream, not a job. The gaming industry is, to me, the most complete engineering discipline that exists.
Every field of computer science meets there, under one roof, shipping something people feel.
