01. about

Where software
meets hardware.

I'm a software engineer with a master's in computer science and over two and a half years of professional experience building systems where software meets hardware.

At HCLTech I worked on a semiconductor test platform for a leading test-equipment manufacturer, writing and maintaining production C#/.NET and C++ applications that control physical test instruments. A lot of that work was unglamorous and precise: tracking down why an instrument driver failed intermittently, rebuilding automated test suites so releases stopped breaking, writing the driver integration that merged two hardware modules into one. I shipped fixes into environments where a bad release costs real machine time.

I left that role to do a master's at Wright State because I wanted to work on cloud-native systems rather than around them. Alongside coursework I stayed active with the IEEE Computer Society and Engineers Without Borders on campus, attended technical workshops and events on and off campus, and kept building: a full-stack Flask application deployed on AWS, containerized services with Docker and Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps. I also picked up a daily LeetCode habit.

I'm now looking for software engineering roles where I can work on backend systems, automation, or cloud infrastructure. If you're hiring, I'd like to hear from you.

HCLTech
Semiconductor Equipment Sustenance
  • Maintained production C#/.NET systems, delivering enhancements and supporting multiple application releases.
  • Troubleshot software controlling physical hardware instruments alongside an Agile team of C++ and C#/.NET engineers.
  • Ran integration, regression, and system testing to validate changes and hold application reliability steady.
  • Diagnosed failures through log analysis and defect triage, and repaired broken automated tests in the existing suite.
Jan 2022 – Jul 2022Chennai, India
Graduate Engineering Trainee
HCLTech
  • Built software components in C++ and C#/.NET applying OOP and object-oriented design principles.
  • Supported system integration and validation of components interfacing with hardware.
  • Gained hands-on exposure to analog instrument driver code and semiconductor chip docking on test equipment.

Things I've built.

/code-pathwayTeam project

AI Coding Learning Platform (Code Pathway)

A full-stack web app that gives students AI-generated feedback on their code and tracks their learning progress over time.

  • On a team project, designed the MySQL schema, deployed the app to AWS EC2, and integrated the frontend with the Flask backend.
  • Ran on AWS EC2 at 99.2% uptime with sub-500ms response times for 100+ users.
  • Contributed to the analytics layer that surfaces where a learner keeps getting stuck.

/semiconductor-test-frameworkSolo

Automated Test Framework for Simulated Semiconductor Equipment

A test harness that validates control software against six simulated hardware communication protocols without needing the physical machines.

  • Executes 100+ test cases across six simulated protocols.
  • Cut validation runtime by 31%, about 2.5 hours per cycle, using multithreaded execution.
  • Wired into GitHub Actions and Azure DevOps so failures surface with full logs in the pipeline.
