I build production-grade web systems — not demos.
MERN & Next.js engineer specializing in architecting scalable, real-time systems that solve actual business constraints.
Philosophy
I don't just write code. I architect systems that survive production traffic.
My engineering journey is rooted in production discipline. While many focus on visual demos, I focus on writing structured, readable code and building maintainable, scalable, end-to-end systems that hold up under real-world pressure.
I believe engineering is about managing constraints. Whether it's optimizing a Redis cache layer for performance, orchestrating WebRTC signaling for real-time communication, or hardening JWT auth flows, I prioritize clarity, correctness, and system quality over visual tricks.
Core Focus
- End-to-End System Design
- Real-Time Communication (WebRTC / WebSockets)
- Monolith & Microservice Trade-offs
- Performance Optimization
Infrastructure
- AWS (EC2, S3)
- Docker Containerization
- CI/CD Automation
- Nginx & Reverse Proxies
LearnVista: AI-Powered SaaS Architecture
Scalable Architecture & Real-Time Signals
LearnVista isn't just a video platform; it's a complex orchestration of signals and state. Implemented WebRTC for low-latency live classes, using Socket.IO for signaling and real-time student-mentor interactions. Production load is managed via Redis caching, reducing database overhead by 40%.
RBAC System
Granular permissions for Students, Mentors, and Admins.
AWS Deployment
Orchestrated with Docker & Nginx on EC2 with S3 signed URLs.
Financial Trust & System Quality
Integrated Stripe Payments with webhook verification to handle course enrollments and mentor donations. The system maintains 100% transaction integrity through ACID-compliant database operations and robust error handling.
