Backend Full-stack Ships it

Backend & full-stack developer

I build the parts of a product that have to be right — money maths that reconciles to the cent, APIs that fail loudly, and deploys boring enough to run on a Tuesday night. Django and FastAPI on the server, Postgres underneath, AWS around it.

glassmorphism, 2020

I'm a computer engineering student who wandered onto the server side and never left. The work I like has a correct answer buried in it somewhere — an amortisation schedule that has to balance, a retrieval pipeline that has to cite the document it actually used, a deploy that has to be repeatable.

Most of what I ship is Django or FastAPI behind a small, sharp frontend. I'd rather spend the afternoon on the migration strategy than the hover state. (This page is what happens when I get to do both.)

DebtClear

A Django debt-payoff planner. You enter what you owe; it simulates Avalanche and Snowball strategies side by side, charts the payoff curve, and an AI advisor explains the trade-off in the plain language a spreadsheet never will.

2

payoff strategies simulated in parallel — highest-interest-first and smallest-balance-first — so the cost of choosing motivation over maths is visible in rupees, not vibes.

3.3

Llama 3.3 via Groq powers the advisory layer. Groq's inference speed is what makes the advice feel like part of the form rather than a job you wait on.


The problem
Payoff calculators give you a number. They don't tell you what happens if you miss a month, or why the strategy that clears a card fastest can cost more overall.
The build
Django and Django REST Framework, with amortisation running server-side so the numbers are computed once and identically for the chart, the table, and the advisor prompt. Chart.js renders the curve.
The AI part
The model is given the computed schedule, never the raw inputs. It explains and compares; it never does the arithmetic. Money maths belongs in code you can unit-test.
Shipping
Deployed on AWS EC2 behind Nginx and Gunicorn. GitHub Actions runs the test suite on every push and deploys main on green.

Projects

AI agent

Mnemos

Memory and retrieval across Gmail, Calendar, and documents. Vector search and BM25 are fused with Reciprocal Rank Fusion and reranked by Gemini 3 Pro, then a critic sub-agent audits the answer against the chunks it cited — so a claim with no source behind it never reaches you.

Shipped Build What it does
May 2026 Mnemos Production AI memory agent for retrieval across Gmail, Calendar, and documents. Hybrid pipeline merging MongoDB Vector Search and BM25 via Reciprocal Rank Fusion, reranked with Gemini 3 Pro, plus a critic sub-agent that audits every response against its cited chunks to catch hallucinations. Deployed on Cloud Run with SSE streaming.
Mar. 2026 TicketForge Automation pipeline that ingests raw meeting transcripts and generates structured Linear tickets through a multi-stage Groq prompt chain, extracting tasks, assignees, deadlines, and priorities from unstructured text. Devpost hackathon entry.
Feb. 2026 DebtClear LLM-powered debt resolution platform with a Negotiate Mode that generates personalised negotiation scripts from a user's debt profile. Django REST on EC2, Dockerised, GitHub Actions CI/CD, Groq (Llama 3) with SSE streaming. Sole developer, production-ready in under 72 hours for Hack the Pulse 2026.
Jan. 2026 DevSync Full-stack developer portfolio platform — 12+ REST modules, Dockerised with PostgreSQL 16, Redis 7, Celery and Nginx. Local-LLM assistant on Ollama with a ChromaDB RAG pipeline and no external API keys. Jenkins CI/CD with linting, Safety and Trivy scans, and 35+ tests.

Let's build something that has to work.

I'm after backend or full-stack work where the hard part is the system design, the data model, or keeping a deploy boring. If that's what you've got, I'd like to hear about it. Fastest route is email — I reply to everything that isn't a recruiter template.
