Software Engineer · Backend & Distributed Systems

Final-year Computer Science student at VIT Bhopal with a strong interest in backend development and distributed systems. I enjoy understanding how large-scale applications work behind the scenes, and building solutions that are reliable, scalable and solve real problems.

About

I'm pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science at VIT Bhopal, currently in my final year with a CGPA of 8.75. My interest is backend development and distributed systems — how large-scale applications actually work behind the scenes, and how to build things that stay reliable as they grow.

I recently completed a Full Stack SDE internship at Advan Drive Technology, where I worked on workflow automation modules, developed REST APIs, and helped deploy containerized microservices on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. That gave me exposure to the full software development lifecycle, from understanding requirements through to implementation and deployment.

I'm looking for opportunities to contribute to challenging engineering problems while continuing to grow as a software engineer.

Eco Loop — Closed-Loop LLM Building Control

July 2026

Built a closed loop control system where a local 3B LLM (qwen2.5:3b-instruct) supervises a live EnergyPlus simulation, reading sensors and writing thermostat setpoints mid-run through a 5 tool MCP server.
Cut HVAC electricity by 11.5% with 0% comfort violations across a 3 week Chicago TMY3 run on a 5 zone VAV office, beating a rule-based controller by 1.05 pp while also reducing peak demand 3.7%.
Designed a supervisory architecture, LLM sets policy every 4 simulated hours, a deterministic inner loop applies and guards it every 15 min timestep avoiding the 90 min of added latency for per-timestep inference.

Zenith — Deployment as a Service

Dec 2025

Architected a distributed deployment platform as 3 decoupled microservices in an npm-workspaces monorepo, automating repository cloning, dependency installation, and build execution in a containerized worker from a GitHub URL - mimicking Vercel functionality.
Engineered an asynchronous build pipeline on a Redis job queue, decoupling API response time from multi-minute npm builds and enabling build workers to scale horizontally.
Implemented AWS S3 artifact storage and a stateless custom routing layer mapping subdomains to S3 prefixes, with streamed responses and SPA fallback routing.
