About

Building the backend
layer of the internet.

I'm a Computer Science undergraduate at GITAM University with a focus on backend engineering. I started building real production systems in my 2nd year and haven't stopped — my work now powers the platform used by every student at my university.

My core stack is Java and Spring Boot, with hands-on experience deploying containerized services on cloud infrastructure. I care about system design, clean API contracts, and code that's maintainable by the next person.

I'm currently leading backend development at AWS Cloud Club and maintaining an active LeetCode practice routine — 375+ problems solved, contest rating 1580.
