About Me

I'm an Information Technology undergraduate at Army Institute of Technology, Pune, with a CGPA of 9.05/10 and a strong focus on backend engineering.

I build REST APIs with Node.js and Express, secure them with JWT authentication, and model data in MongoDB and MySQL. On the frontend I work with JavaScript and React to ship complete products.

My foundation is in core computer science — C++, data structures and algorithms, OOP, operating systems and DBMS — and I like applying it to real problems, like ordering tasks with a priority queue.

Outside of code, I lead technical events as Secretary of the AIT ACM Student Chapter and enjoy building community around software.
