About

About Me

Software Developer & Data Analyst

I am a software engineer with strong experience in backend development, data pipelines, and cloud-deployed systems. I work primarily with Python and Java, building scalable APIs and services using Flask and Spring Boot, and integrating them with modern front-end frameworks such as React. I have deployed and operated applications on AWS and GCP using Docker and Kubernetes, and have designed data solutions using PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, BigQuery, and Elasticsearch. Alongside backend engineering, I have delivered analytics and reporting solutions using SQL, Tableau, and Power BI to support data-driven decision-making.

I work effectively in Agile environments, contributing to sprint planning, implementation, and delivery in Scrum-based teams. Through my role as a Course Assistant and leadership responsibilities on academic and professional projects, I have developed strong communication and collaboration skills while guiding teams through complex technical requirements. I am analytical, adaptable, and execution-focused, with a proven ability to break down ambiguous problems and deliver reliable, scalable solutions in both independent and cross-functional settings.

My Publications

Equifax Data Breach
Equifax Data Breach: A Software Architecture Perspective

This research paper examines the 2017 Equifax data breach, a cybersecurity disaster that compromised the personal data of 147 million individuals. The study dissects the failure from a software architecture standpoint, identifying key issues such as an unpatched vulnerability in Apache Struts, poor security monitoring, and reliance on outdated legacy systems. The paper highlights how technical debt and inefficient security patching led to an extended period of unauthorized access. Proposed solutions include a shift to microservices, automated security patching, and Zero Trust architecture to mitigate future breaches. The case study serves as a cautionary tale for enterprises managing sensitive consumer data.

Legacy Systems in Open Source: Design Pattern-Based Refactoring

This paper explores how legacy systems impact modern open-source development and proposes using design patterns to improve their maintainability, security, and scalability. The authors implement Factory, Observer, Strategy, and other patterns to reduce code complexity and enhance modularity. Empirical results using SonarQube and JaCoCo show measurable reductions in cyclomatic complexity across key modules of an online cab booking system.

Review of DISTO: Textual Distractors for Multiple Choice Reading Comprehension Questions using Negative Sampling

This review evaluates the DISTO metric introduced for assessing textual distractors in reading comprehension MCQs. The authors propose a novel approach using negative sampling strategies—such as answer replication, clustering, and BERT-based mask filling—combined with transformer-based models like DistilRoBERTa. The paper critiques traditional BLEU-like metrics and highlights DISTO's improved semantic sensitivity and human-aligned performance. Limitations around multilingual support, grammar validation, and computational scalability are discussed with future work directions.
