I build digital experiences where engineering precision meets creative curiosity.
Full-stack software engineer & B.Tech Computer Science graduate based in Kolkata. Focused on scalable backend infrastructure, reactive component interfaces, real-time distributed WebSockets, and progressive tone design.

Creative Developer
Procedural Geometry & Sound Design
Harmonizing technical precision with progressive rock guitar, complex odd-time signatures (7/8, 11/8), and audio synthesis.
I enjoy building products that feel good to use, solving technical challenges, and exploring ideas beyond the usual boundaries of code.
As a Computer Science Engineering graduate from Guru Nanak Institute of Technology (2022–2026), I treat software engineering as both an exact discipline and a creative craft. I thrive on building resilient backend services in Java & Spring Boot, optimizing PostgreSQL query execution paths, and designing reactive web interfaces in React and Next.js that communicate with zero friction.
Beyond engineering, my passion for progressive rock and heavy metal guitar (inspired by Dream Theater and John Petrucci) fuels my attention to detail, rhythmic precision, and structural composition. Whether tuning a complex WebSocket event loop or arranging odd-time guitar riffs (7/8, 11/8), I prioritize clean execution, maintainability, and end-to-end system ownership.
How I Think & Build
An intentional, iterative cycle transforming abstract requirements into reliable, resilient software architectures.
Idea
Deconstructing core requirements to first principles. Stripping away unnecessary assumptions and defining what truly needs to exist.
Research
Analyzing concurrency patterns, latency boundaries, database schemas, and selecting the most maintainable tech stack.
Design
Structuring clean API contracts, component states, and human-friendly interaction flows before writing application logic.
Build
Crafting modular, clean, and type-safe code across Java/Spring Boot backends and React/Next.js frontends.
Break
Testing edge cases, simulating connection drops, concurrent WebSocket broadcasts, and verifying security boundaries.
Improve
Refining query efficiency, optimizing bundle footprint, polishing micro-interactions, and documenting architectural decisions.
