Proof of work

Competitive programming is my implementation gym.

Fast problem solving is not a side quest here. It is daily practice for edge cases, invariants, and getting clean code correct under pressure.

CP philosophy

I use competitive programming as daily deliberate practice for algorithmic speed, edge-case discipline, and implementation accuracy.

Experience

Performance work, not resume filler.

Internship work is framed around throughput, rate limiting, contention reduction, benchmarks, and CI regression checks.

Virtual / Jun 2025 - Mar 2026

Backend & Performance Engineering Intern

Samsung PRISM

Certificate

Automated Professor Profile Management and Knowledge Graph Construction using GenAI

  • Improved backend throughput by 40% after profiling memory hotspots and refactoring the NLP enrichment service caching layer.
  • Implemented token-bucket rate limiting for a bursty ingestion pipeline handling 10,000+ daily profiles while supporting 99.9% availability under load.
  • Reduced thread contention and integrated JMH benchmark regression suites with JUnit tests into CI to catch performance regressions before release.

Featured engineering work

Projects with architecture, constraints, and tradeoffs.

The featured work is backend-heavy by design: payments, verification systems, low-latency services, AI infrastructure, production web platforms, and RAG.

Distributed Payments

Systems

Systems I like building.

The common thread is reliable backend work: correctness at the data layer, fast APIs, observable behavior, and measured performance.

Low-latency services

Hot-path APIs, cache-aware reads, latency budgets, and fast failure behavior.

Caching and rate limiting

Redis-backed read paths, token buckets, cache eviction, and stampede protection.

Distributed backends

Idempotent writes, retry safety, outbox flows, event delivery, and durable state.

Observability and benchmarking

p50/p95/p99 tracking, Prometheus dashboards, k6/JMH regression tests, and profiling.

Trading-style data structures

Order-book thinking, queues, heaps, maps, trees, and correctness under fast updates.

Concurrent Java systems

Thread contention reduction, clean API boundaries, and measurable backend behavior.

Engineering highlights

Backend systems, measured not guessed.

This is the operating model behind the projects: correctness first, benchmarks second, production behavior always visible.

Distributed correctness

I like systems where correctness survives retries, duplicate events, and partial failure.

  • Idempotency and UETR-style transaction identity.
  • Serializable transactions and immutable ledgers.
  • Retry safety, duplicate-delivery handling, and consistency checks.

Performance methodology

I prefer measured engineering: benchmark, profile, change one thing, verify again.

  • Benchmark design and bottleneck profiling.
  • p50/p95/p99 tracking and cache-hit analysis.
  • Load testing and regression testing in CI.

Production readiness

The best backend code is readable in dashboards, logs, errors, and failure tests.

  • Observability dashboards and request correlation.
  • Machine-readable errors, rate limiting, and cache eviction paths.
  • Failure-mode validation before calling a system reliable.

Skills

Grouped skills, no fake percentage bars.

The stack is organized by how it shows up in engineering work: languages, backend, infrastructure, performance, algorithms, and frontend.

About

From algorithms to systems.

A focused engineering identity for backend, infrastructure, and quant-style systems roles.

I am a Computer Science Engineering student from Bengaluru. I build backend systems and infrastructure-heavy projects where APIs, databases, caches, queues, and benchmarks matter.

I am actively improving in competitive programming with Codeforces Expert standing and 857+ LeetCode problems solved, including 142+ hard problems. That practice keeps my implementation speed and edge-case discipline sharp.

I care about clean APIs, measurable performance, readable systems, and implementation discipline. I am targeting software engineering roles around backend, infrastructure, and quant-style systems.
