Pre-Final Year • B.Tech Data Science & AI • IIT Bhilai
I build systems from scratch — network protocols, distributed sync engines, database internals, and infrastructure that makes other engineers more productive. My philosophy: if you want to understand something, build it yourself.
Currently:
- LFX & OpenSSF Mentee at RSTUF — securing the software supply chain with the Repository Service for TUF
- OpenLake Coordinator — managing 60+ repos and 100+ contributors at IIT Bhilai
- MOSIP Contributor (selected twice from 4,200+ applicants) — building India's digital identity infrastructure
| Project | What It Is | Stack |
|---|---|---|

| ACORDE | Local-first P2P data sync with CRDTs (G-Counters, LWW-Element Sets), XChaCha20-Poly1305 encryption, Kademlia DHT, SQLite WAL mode | Go, libp2p, SQLite |
| B+ Tree | Production-grade from scratch — node splitting, sibling borrowing, doubly-linked leaf list for O(n) range scans, configurable order | Go |
| Kudos | Token-economy social platform — MLFQ-inspired feed ranking (from OS scheduling), progressive taxation, atomic transactions with SELECT FOR UPDATE, gRPC microservices | Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, gRPC |
HalfLife · pip install halflife-rag | Temporal reranking for RAG — intent classification, multi-strategy decay (exponential/piecewise/learned MLP), +191% improvement on fresh-intent queries. Published on PyPI | Python, NumPy, Redis, Qdrant |
| Relix | Distributed data processing with checkpoint-based recovery, custom scheduling across heterogeneous workers, graceful degradation | Go, PostgreSQL |
| Project | What It Is | Stack |
|---|---|---|
| GitIntel | LLM-powered GitHub intelligence — transforms messy discussion threads into structured engineering digests with D3.js decision dependency graphs | Python, FastAPI, GraphQL, OpenAI, D3.js |
| RAGfolio | RAG system with semantic boundary chunking, recursive character splitting, intelligent passage ranking, citation tracking | Python, Vector DBs, HNSW |
| MetaIndex | ML-adaptive database index selection — meta-learning to predict optimal index configurations, SIMD/mmap optimization | Python, ML |
| Project | What It Is | Stack |
|---|---|---|

🧠 How I Learn
I track my own learning process closely — analyzing years of my own ChatGPT and Obsidian history to understand my debugging patterns, review habits, and when I actually focus best. It's a habit that started as curiosity and turned into a genuine tool for improving how I work.
