Experience

Software Engineer, Tekion Corp. — Bengaluru, India — Jan 2025–Present (joined as Software Engineering Intern)

• Designed and delivered webhook infrastructure for the service platform across multiple environments (pre-prod, prod, prod-EU), architected as a modular, plug-and-play system so new webhook publishers onboard with minimal effort; it became a core platform component powering critical async workflows for Hyundai and Ford integrations, delivered in close collaboration with a partner team on shared design patterns and rollout timelines.
• Owned backend design and implementation for a GM vehicle check-in feature end to end, including a screen-agnostic job-creation API that serves all consuming screens through a single clean, reusable contract with no per-screen logic.
• Developed open APIs for external integration consumers, including a warranty claim API that was a key enabler for a Ford repair-order integration, and stabilized the open API surface through enhancements and defect fixes.
• Identified and fixed critical defects in the warranty posting pipeline — issues with direct financial-accuracy impact for dealers; added upstream validation to reject invalid entries and backed the fixes with automation test coverage.
• Adopted AI-assisted development tools early and built structured workflows shared with the team, tangibly improving developer efficiency beyond personal productivity.
• Tools & technologies used: Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, Redis, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, REST APIs.

Software Developer Intern, Location Solutions, LLC — Dubai (Remote, Part-time) — Mar 2024–Aug 2024

• Rewrote a legacy project using Node.js, enhancing performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Implemented RESTful APIs, resulting in a 20% performance increase and reduced response times.
• Implemented database join algorithms to execute in-memory joins on application data.
• Conducted comprehensive testing and debugging, and added unit testing to backend algorithms.
• Integrated OpenTelemetry logs into a legacy service to improve monitoring and troubleshooting capabilities.

Projects

Real Time Object Detection on a Video Stream from Drone/Mobile — Team/hackathon project, built during CodeUtsava 7.0 — Source

• Problem solved: pothole detection using drone footage and machine learning.
• Tools & technologies used: MERN stack, Flask, OpenCV, YOLOv8, RTMP protocol.
• Took an input stream from an RTMP source and ran object detection on the video frames.
• Built the detection script with OpenCV to run object detection and send frames to the server and database.
• Built an API to store detected frames into the file system and MongoDB database.
• Built a frontend UI in React to interact with the detected objects.

Video Conferencing Website — Live · Source

• Tools & technologies used: React.js, Express.js, Socket.io, WebRTC (Peer.js).
• Users create unique code-identified meeting rooms and share them to invite others.
• Built the backend server with Express.js to handle rooms and connection setup, using peer-to-peer WebRTC for video streaming and Socket.io for WebRTC signalling.

Multiplayer TicTacToe Game for Terminal — Playable over LAN — Source

• Tools & technologies used: Node.js, network sockets.
• Built the UI with terminal-kit to display game state on the terminal.
• Implemented a custom communication protocol over bare TCP.

Address Book (Website) — Stores wallet addresses with copy-to-clipboard access from any device

• Tools & technologies used: React.js, Express.js, MongoDB, JWT.
• Built a CRUD API on REST principles with Express.js, storing data in MongoDB.
• Implemented authentication using JWT.
