Profile

I'm driven by a passion for building robust systems and fostering technical excellence. I believe in writing code that scales, mentoring others, and contributing meaningfully to the communities I'm part of. My approach is grounded in learning deeply, shipping thoughtfully, and always asking the hard questions about architecture and performance.

Backend Web Developer - IIIT Una

Part of the code refactoring effort post government mandated security audit to harden the codebase against cyber threats.
Developed admin dashboard pages for storing and managing data representing the university’s institutional structure. These pages provide the foundation for modernizing static data and enabling a more interconnected website experience across different tabs and sections.
Led a dynamic, backend-driven refactor eliminating hardcoded school routes and static data for scalability.
Standardized static file handling and access control for key modules, improving permission hygiene.

Education

BTech - CSE

Indian Institute of Information Technology Una

Open Source

Linux Kernel

Diagnosed and resolved a kernel memory leak where mismatched dev_id cookies prevented interrupt handler cleanup (cvm_oct_rx_shutdown); patch was merged into Linux mainline, backported to v4.9, and queued across stable releases (v5.10-v7.0).

Git Core Tooling

Eliminated runtime segfault risk in add_tree_entries() by fixing a NULL-pointer dereference bug in error diagnostic paths; merged into master branch.
Enhanced test coverage reliability across 11 submodule tests (t7412) by replacing raw shell predicates with structured diagnostic libraries.

(All-Hands-AI)

Improved codebase context indexing efficiency for an Al agent framework by implementing semantic file chunking powered by Tree-sitter AST parsing; recognized in OpenHands Champions directory.

Apache Software Foundation

resolved frontend data validation bugs in Superset (#36075, #35848)
implemented field-level password masking in APISIX-Dashboard (#3251)
extended OAuth session security in DevLake (#8667)

Projects

Pastebin - Online Clipboard Platform

Engineered a high-concurrency clipboard API processing rate-limited dynamic pastes under a tight 30-connection database constraint using atomic Redis pipelines and TOCTOU-safe sliding-window algorithms.
