About

Professional summary

I am a master's student in Computer Science and Engineering with three years of professional experience building scalable backend services and cloud-based systems. My background combines software engineering, distributed systems, DevOps, and applied AI/ML research.

I have worked on backend processing pipelines, customer and order lifecycle systems, microservices, and RESTful APIs supporting more than one million users. I focus on improving reliability, throughput, latency, and production system quality through well-designed services and operational practices.

I am experienced with Java, Python, SQL, Microsoft Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, Docker, Azure DevOps, and a range of relational and NoSQL databases. I have built CI/CD workflows, supported legacy-platform migrations, and implemented monitoring and incident-troubleshooting solutions.

In my professional role, I have collaborated closely with DevOps, QA, and product teams in Agile delivery cycles. I have also led code reviews, improved release workflows, and mentored junior developers on engineering best practices and system integration.

My academic and research interests include machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, natural language processing, multimodal AI, image captioning, and assistive navigation technologies. I am particularly interested in applying robust software engineering practices to intelligent systems that create accessible and reliable user experiences.

Career history

Research Assistant University at Buffalo, State University of New York

I conduct research on multimodal navigation systems for blind and visually impaired users. My work includes reviewing literature on visual question answering, image captioning, and depth-estimation approaches for assistive indoor navigation.

I designed a multimodal dataset integration pipeline using VizWiz, NYU Depth V2, and SUN RGB-D datasets. I also explored attention-based and transformer-style multimodal architectures and defined evaluation criteria including VQA accuracy, caption-quality scores, and depth-estimation error.

Associate Software Engineer Accenture Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

I optimized backend processing pipelines and Azure Service Bus queues for customer and order lifecycle data serving more than one million users, improving reliability and reducing processing latency. I also designed and deployed distributed Java microservice architecture and REST APIs on Microsoft Azure using Apache Camel, improving data throughput by 30% while supporting legacy infrastructure migration for a major ecommerce platform.

I built automated CI/CD pipelines with Azure DevOps and Kubernetes, reducing deployment time by 25% and improving release reliability. I implemented Splunk and Geneva monitoring dashboards and incident-troubleshooting frameworks, led code reviews and workflow improvements, collaborated with DevOps, QA, and product teams, and mentored junior developers on engineering best practices.
