Computer Engineering undergrad at G H Raisoni College of Engineering and Management, Pune (class of 2027).

I build things to understand what happens under the hood — from the life of a request inside a Go service to the moment KVM hands execution back to a host. My focus is backend systems, infrastructure, and security.

IronVM · Go / Linux KVM — built a tiny x86 virtual machine monitor that runs a real-mode guest on one KVM vCPU. The guest prints Hi, exchanges the byte 42 with its Go host over port I/O, and halts with a trace of each VM exit.

GateHouse · Go / gRPC / PostgreSQL — building a Layer 7 gateway with separate control and data planes, versioned configuration, atomic route updates, and last-known-good snapshots that keep traffic flowing when the control plane is unavailable.

Aegis · Security engineering — developing a security-event and risk-intelligence platform. OIDC-backed sessions and an independent hybrid ML anomaly pipeline are implemented; full risk integration and tamper-evident audit logging remain in progress.

Open source · OpenTelemetry Collector — reading through Go observability internals, reproducing behavior locally, and checking a prospective contribution against its tests. No upstream merge claimed.

SATARK — a fintech fraud-analysis prototype that explores suspicious transaction networks across institutions. It combines task queues, graph analysis, and an interactive investigation interface. _{Python · FastAPI · Neo4j · Celery · Redis}

RedisForge — Redis architecture studied through a working Go service: JSON documents, Bloom filters, full-text search, Streams, observability, and integration tests. _{Go · Redis Stack · Docker · OpenTelemetry}

• Prayatna 3.0 national hackathon winner — 1st place among 70+ teams from 12 states in March 2026, with SATARK
• Toastmasters International — Vice President Public Relations; former Treasurer
• PureCuts — co-founded a marketplace connecting customers with salons and beauty-service providers
