Work Experience

Backend Developer

Sep 2025 - Present

THDC India Limited

  • Architected and deployed a production REST API backend in Node.js/TypeScript (Express) on government infrastructure, covering document lifecycle management across 9 modules and 91 source files.
  • Designed a multi-tier RBAC system with role-gated state transitions, ownership enforcement, and full audit trails; maintained >80% Jest test coverage with GitHub Actions CI.
  • Built document generation pipelines (DOCX + QR) with Cloudflare R2 artifact storage and tamper-proof public verification endpoints.

Self-Employed (Remote)

Jan 2026 - Present

Freelance Software Engineer

  • Engineered Haanna, a production RAG chat platform serving 200+ concurrent users — sole engineer across Python AI pipeline, Node.js backend, infrastructure, and monitoring.
  • Deployed a pgvector + LangChain RAG pipeline with persistent semantic memory and structured prompt assembly over REST API, sustaining <150ms p95 LLM inference latency.
  • Built real-time messaging via Socket.io with Redis-backed BullMQ queues for async LLM task processing; integrated HuggingFace open-source models as live fallback inference layer.
  • Monitored system health and LLM throughput with Prometheus, Grafana, and MLflow; deployed full stack via Docker on self-managed VPS.

Full-Stack Developer

Nov 2024 - Jan 2025

KKRF Group

  • Built Next.js web applications with Three.js 3D components, GSAP animations, and Spline integrations; deployed to production with Lighthouse-optimized performance and SEO.
  • Owned full project lifecycle across three concurrent client engagements — from architecture decisions through deployment.

Full-Stack Developer

May 2024 - Jul 2024

Bigbooster Technology

  • Shipped full-stack SaaS features using Next.js, TypeScript, and AWS S3, handling frontend, backend, and deployment independently.
  • Built reusable Tailwind CSS component library reducing UI development time across multiple product screens.
