Hello There, It’s Me
I Build Backend Systems And Break Them On Purpose.
I’m a Computer Science & Engineering (Cyber Security) student at Shiv Nadar University, Chennai. I spend my time on the parts of software most people don’t see — multi-tenant backends, reverse proxies, sandboxing, and the infrastructure that holds it together. The security half of my degree means I tend to look at my own systems the way an attacker would.
I spend my days building backends and the infrastructure under them. Somewhere along the way it stopped being coursework and became the thing I actually want to do. There’s something about a system that holds up under load — and finding the one place it doesn’t — that keeps me going.
Most of my work happens in Go and TypeScript, with Python for anything data-shaped. PostgreSQL and Redis behind it, Docker around it, and Burp Suite, Wireshark and Ghidra when I need to see what something is really doing.
A white-label, multi-tenant college ERP — one codebase serving many institutions, each with its own database and app instance.
Vanguard — a Wi-Fi congestion analyzer mapping channel contention across corporate and external networks in real time.
A reverse proxy and web application firewall written in Go, on a stdlib-only data path.
An insurance agency management platform — web dashboard and mobile app on a single backend.
A playlist synchronization engine moving tracks between Spotify and YouTube Music.
