$ cat bio.txt

Chronically online, terminally curious. I have exactly zero hobbies — no movies, no music, no touching grass. Just distributed systems, cloud infrastructure, and AI agents doing my bidding. My idea of a good time is watching a queue drain at 3 AM. Everything I ship is built with a production-first mindset: real SaaS, real users, real pager anxiety.

LVL 3deploy: autonomix-solutions/junior-developerAug 2025 – Present· RemoteRUNNING

Junior Developer @ Autonomix Solutions

Engineering automation workflows and scalable systems that real companies bet real money on.

  • Built the core Elysia API layer for a RAG-as-a-Service platform: multi-tenant architecture, billing, invite workflows, and knowledge-base-linked chat systems.
  • Engineered a corporate WhatsApp learning bot upskilling 3,000+ frontline workers — stateful training engine, AWS Rekognition selfie verification, automated assessment lockouts, OTP-based certificates.
  • Developed the backend for an EdTech live-session module used by top Indian institutes (IITs/IIMs): faculty onboarding, automatic scheduling, automated invoicing, systematized email pipelines.
LVL 2deploy: saaz-creations/freelance-backend-team-lead2025 – Present· RemoteRUNNING

Freelance Backend & Team Lead @ Saaz Creations

Wearing the architect hat and the team-lead hat at the same time. Both fit.

  • Architected and deployed a production-grade e-commerce backend on a custom VPS: Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS S3.
  • Led direct client communications and managed a small backend team — enforcing code quality and shipping features that stay shipped.
LVL 1deploy: hesh-media/founding-engineer-and-team-leadDec 2024 – Sep 2025· Amritsar, PunjabEXITED 0

Founding Engineer and Team Lead @ Hesh Media

The foundational engineer for multiple commercial clients — cloud accounts, database schemas, and CI/CD, all from an empty repo.

  • Developed a live insurance operations platform (NDA): OCR/Gemini AI policy ingestion cut manual entry time by 90%.
  • Built an automated reconciliation system processing 500+ records in under 3 seconds.
  • Implemented a patient appointment system with Next.js server actions and EmailJS.

CodeSentinel

The cyber-defense agent that never sleeps. (Neither do I, but that's beside the point.)

An autonomous, privacy-first security agent built to democratize cybersecurity. It reads intent, context, and patterns instead of just grepping for CVEs — a force multiplier for teams that can't afford a red team.

  • Static mode: audits local repos, auto-fixes vulnerabilities, and packages the changes into ready-to-merge GitHub PRs.
  • Dynamic mode: explores live URLs like a security researcher — uncovered 15+ hidden endpoints (including exposed Supabase REST/storage URLs) on an authorized target.
  • Reached plaintext credentials on a live authorized target in under 10 minutes.

InsureZeal

Insurance paperwork, minus the humans who hate doing it.

A fully automated insurance management SaaS covering the entire policy lifecycle: creation, claims workflows, customer portal, analytics, document processing, and multi-channel comms — all gated behind granular role-based access control.

  • OCR + Gemini AI policy ingestion cut manual data entry time by 90%.
  • Automated reconciliation engine chews through 500+ records in under 3 seconds.
  • Granular RBAC so the intern can't nuke the claims table.

A real store, making real money, on a VPS I babysit personally.

  • Production-grade backend on self-managed infrastructure: Docker, PostgreSQL, Redis, AWS S3.
  • Integrated WhatsApp + SMS campaign automation that actually converts.
  • Razorpay checkout flows hardened against every weird payment state I could produce.

Proof that I can, in fact, make things look nice.

A dedicated frontend showcase for a dental clinic — services, treatment specializations, and a highly responsive design optimized for patients browsing at 11 PM with a toothache.

  • Service and treatment discovery tuned for conversion.
