};I'm a full-stack developer at IIT Kharagpur — but the "Civil Engineering" degree is the plot twist, not the main story. Most of my time goes into event-driven backends, GenAI products on AWS, and Web3 community building. I care more about systems that hold up in production at 1k+ concurrent users than code that just runs on my machine.
When I'm not pushing to main, you'll find me on Leetcode grinding rated contests, Exploring things in blockchain, or running pick-up games on the hall court.

Voice-first. Serverless. WhatsApp-native. Built for the AWS AI for Bharat Hackathon.
Students in Tier-2/3 cities lack affordable, multilingual interview prep — existing tools are English-only, expensive, and need broadband. Aira fixes that.
A candidate sends a voice note in Hinglish/Hindi on WhatsApp → Lambda A ingests it, kicks off Amazon Transcribe, and shuts down. EventBridge wakes Lambda B when transcription finishes — it grades the answer with AWS Bedrock (Claude 3) / Gemini, generates the next adaptive question, and ships spoken feedback via Amazon Polly. All session state lives in DynamoDB. Zero app install, low bandwidth, ~$1.31/user/month.

Privacy-first. Offline-capable. Your data never leaves your browser.
Most crypto trackers force you through a third party that stores your financial data. Not this one.
A full-stack dashboard with a React + Vite frontend, Node.js backend, and client-side IndexedDB for offline-first persistence — no account, no cloud, no third-party access. Hardhat-based smart contracts handle on-chain holding verification, and Chart.js powers real-time visualisations.

One dashboard, 10 events, 500+ active users. Built by a 15-member web team.
The official event-management platform for IIT Kharagpur's largest technical fest. Students register, join teams, sign up for workshops, pay via Razorpay, and get auto-generated certificates. Admins manage everything from a dedicated dashboard. Server-rendered with Next.js for snappy first-paint.

No platform fees. No middlemen. Just ETH, direct from supporter to creator.
A trustless alternative to "Buy Me a Coffee" — supporters send ETH straight to creators via a Solidity smart contract. The React frontend hooks into MetaMask; the contract enforces every business rule on-chain. Zero platform fees, deployed live on Vercel.

Great engineers are more than their stack — here's the stuff that keeps me human:
Gold at the Inter-Hall Basketball Tournament — I take defence as seriously as I take system design
NCC training and camps — discipline, leadership, and the occasional 5 AM drill
2nd place at the Inter-Hall Rangoli Competition — yes, the civil engineer in me does show up sometimes
Active in student dev communities — mentorship, code reviews, and a lot of late-night debugging sessions
I'm open to full-time roles and meaningful collaborations — especially around serverless, GenAI, agentic systems, and developer tools. If you're working on something hard and need a builder who cares about the details, drop me a line. I read every email.
