About

I'm a Backend Engineer passionate about building scalable systems and production-grade software. Currently studying at the International Institute of Information Technology Bhubaneswar (IIIT-BH) pursuing Information Technology with a CGPA of 8.49.

My interests span distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and system design. I have a deep passion for understanding databases, networking, operating systems, and scalable architecture. I enjoy diving into complex problems and finding elegant solutions.

Currently, I'm exploring the intersection of backend engineering and GenAI, working on projects that leverage advanced AI techniques to solve real-world problems.

Beyond code, I'm passionate about manga, movies (cult classics), and philosophy . I believe that understanding design and aesthetics—both in software and life—leads to better engineering decisions and better mental health.
