EXPERIENCE

Where I've been, and what I picked up along the way.

  • Zinnovate Ventures

    Full Stack Developer Intern

    May 2025 — July 2025 · Bengaluru, India

    • Architected the core backend for Peppy Pick, an AI-powered career development platform, using Flask Blueprints for a modular design.
    • Cut profile-analytics API response time from over 30 seconds to under 8 by re-architecting the module to analyse resume, LinkedIn, and GitHub data in parallel.
    • Engineered multi-path authentication: password, OTP via Twilio, and SSO through Google, LinkedIn, and GitHub OAuth — with secure hashing and CSRF-resistant state handling.
    • Integrated an OpenAI GPT interview simulator generating role-based and job-description-based questions with candidate assessment.
    • Hardened an enterprise admin backend with JWT authentication and consistent error handling across every endpoint.
    • Contributed to the frontend of an artist portfolio website in React and TypeScript, adding UI/UX enhancements and a headless CMS for dynamic content management.

  • Bright Nodes

    Full Stack Developer Intern

    June 2026 — July 2026 · Bengaluru, India

    • Built secure authentication infrastructure with JWT-based access/refresh token rotation, server-side session invalidation, role-based authorization middleware, and an OTP-driven two-factor login and password-reset flow via Nodemailer over SMTP.
    • Architected and deployed multiple full-stack RESTful APIs with Node.js and Express, including a full HR management system spanning employees, departments, projects, tasks, and attendance with a modular routes/controllers/models structure.
    • Evaluated three data-persistence strategies — raw MySQL with multi-table joins, MongoDB/Mongoose schema design, and Prisma ORM — and used them to build a fully functional e-commerce backend for catalog and order management.
