Backend and AI engineer. I build things that work and ship them.
Currently leading development at Rudescore, doing some time at JK Tech, and finishing up a CS degree (AIML specialization, 8.6 CGPA).
Languages: Rust, TypeScript, Python, Java
Backend: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Prisma
AI/ML: TensorFlow, some computer vision experiments
I care more about knowing things deeply than having a long list of logos.
depdoctor — npm package that checks which dependencies you can safely update. Handles npm/yarn/pnpm/bun, semantic versioning, major version warnings. Built it because I got tired of doing this manually.
discord-lavalink — Type-safe library connecting Discord.js to Lavalink audio servers. Wrote it in 2 hours because every existing option was either untyped or overengineered. 180+ stars.
PokéClassifier — Next.js app that analyzes your face and matches you with a Pokémon. Used Google Cloud Vision for expression detection and Gemini for personality inference. Has Stripe integration because someone asked for premium.
Multi-Digit Handwritten Recognition — CNN-based model that reads handwritten numbers. The segmentation part was trickier than expected.
musicxmatch-api — npm wrapper for the MusixMatch API. Someone had to do it.
I run a decent chunk of my life on Minecraft servers. Built AdminWatchdog for staff monitoring, InfuseSMPReloaded as a custom SMP core, AuthMeUI for modern authentication UI, and smp-core as a scalable plugin foundation. These are actually running in production.
- CodeSlayer 2k25, NIT Delhi — 1st place (beat 10,000+ teams)
- Smart India Hackathon — 2nd place
- Hack For Green Bharat — Grand finale at Microsoft
Cybersecurity stuff from LinkedIn Learning (threat landscape, foundations, Security Copilot). HackerRank badges in JavaScript and Node. IBM courses on project-based learning — actually useful for thinking through problems systematically.
Open source maintenance, hackathon culture, building tools I'd actually use. Currently exploring Rust for backend because the compiler is harsh but honest. Trying to get better at system design and actually understanding databases instead of just using them.
