Who Am I?

Software Engineer & Architect

New Delhi, India (Current Time: 00:00 PM)

I am a full-stack engineer with a heavy focus on backend architecture and security. I don't just write code; I design systems where trust is mathematically enforced, not assumed.

Currently, I am pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science while building production-grade applications. My philosophy is simple: The database should not trust the server, and the server should not trust the frontend.

Research Interests

System Architecture

I love the complexity of distributed systems. Designing how microservices communicate, handle failure, and scale horizontally is my kind of puzzle.

NLP & Machine Learning

Exploring how machines process human language. From simple regex parsers to complex transformer models for resume analysis and text generation.

Open Source Security

I believe security tools should be open. Transparency builds trust. If the code is hidden, the security cannot be verified. This is why I advocate for public cryptography implementations.

Media Consumption

Stories that explore technology, society, and the human condition.

Engineering Philosophy

First Principles

Don't just use a library because it's popular. Understand how it works. If you can't explain the underlying logic, you don't truly know the tool.

Pragmatism

Code is a means to an end. Perfect code that never ships is useless. I value robust, working systems over theoretical perfection.

Verification

"Trust, but verify" is wrong. In security, it is "Verify, then verify again." I assume every input is malicious until validated.

Trajectory

NOW

Bachelor of Technology

Completing my CSE degree at Jamia Hamdard while working on freelance architecture projects.
