Resume
My Background
I’m an Indian international freshman majoring in Agricultural Systems Management(ASM) at Purdue University, with a strong passion for building software, managing servers, and exploring emerging technologies. While I have experience across the full stack, I’m particularly drawn to back-end development and systems programming. Recently, I’ve been deepening my knowledge of system design and data structures.
Beyond the digital world, I’m a runner, enthusiastic cook, former tutor, and avid plant lover (I kept a garden back home in India). When I’m not in class, you’ll often find me tinkering with computers—right now I’m interning on a summer project building production software for a company.
Languages & Tools
These are many of the languages, tools, frameworks, etc. that I have experience with. I’ve used all of these in my projects and/or coursework, though some I know more deeply than others. I’ve omitted ones I no longer feel confident using.
The lists below are in no particular order.

Projects
Secure Chat Platform
Leading a 5-person team to build a cross-platform messaging app using Signal Protocol (via libsignal-protocol.js), React & Firebase. Features include end-to-end encryption with forward secrecy, multi-device sync, and encrypted group chats. We follow 2-week sprints, write full test coverage, and are targeting both enterprise and privacy-focused users.
GitHub repo (private 😔)- End-to-end encryption
- CI/CD & unit testing
- React & Firebase
Ticketing Management System
I’m building a modular, agile ticketing platform tailored for travel agencies and corporate clients. Powered by Node.js, Express & MySQL, it offers real-time booking, dynamic pricing modules, user roles & permissions, and an admin dashboard to manage the full ticket lifecycle. Designed for easy client-specific tweaks—and with an eye toward open-source release or commercial licensing.
GitHub repo (private 😔)- Agile development
- REST API design
- Role-based auth
Accounting Software
Developed a modular finance-backend system in PHP, MySQL & JavaScript for invoice management, payment tracking, and financial reporting. Originally a standalone project, it’s now fully integrated into my Ticketing Management System—providing end-to-end transaction processing and automated ledgers.
