Experience

Full Stack Engineer @Eldridge Morgan
Building enterprise solutions that actually scale. Architected multiple internal tools from scratch, managed infrastructure with Terraform, and shipped features that handle real production load. Basically turning coffee into code and keeping the servers happy.
Machine Learning Intern @CTTC Bhubaneswar
Orchestrated the entire ML pipeline for a computer vision recognition system. Wrangled datasets, trained models, and deployed them to actually work in the real world. Turned messy data into something that could see and understand images.
Software Engineer Intern @Infoware System
First real dev gig energy. Built features, squashed bugs, and learned what production code actually means. Collaborated with the team on client projects, wrote APIs, fixed frontend issues, and shipped code that people actually used.
