Building data-driven systems, backend services, and developer-focused tools.
I'm a Computer Science graduate and Software Engineer interested in Data Engineering, backend systems, cloud technologies, and open-source development.
I enjoy taking problems from system design → implementation → testing → deployment, and I like working on projects where software engineering and data come together.
Currently, I'm focused on:
- 🏗️ Data engineering and modern data platforms
- ☁️ Azure, Databricks, Spark, and distributed data processing
- 🔌 REST APIs, backend systems, and database-driven applications
- 🔐 Application security and vulnerability research
- 🌎 Contributing to open-source projects and learning from large production codebases
I actively work with large open-source codebases and contribute fixes, improvements, and feature work.
- Weblate — Internationalization and localization platform; worked on API behaviour, validation, configuration handling, and regression coverage.
- Versatile Data Kit — Data engineering platform and tooling.
- VulnerableApp — Security-focused work around intentionally vulnerable applications and vulnerability demonstrations.
- React Portfolio — Personal portfolio built with React.
- WhatsApp Clone — Real-time chat application exploring full-stack development and messaging workflows.
- YouTube Downloader — Web-based utility with a React frontend and Python backend.
- Chess Arena AI — An interactive AI-powered chess platform enabling autonomous gameplay between LLMs.
