About Me

I'm a Senior Analyst at Deutsche Bank, specializing in building scalable backend systems and comprehensive test automation frameworks. I architect microservices with Java and Spring Boot, develop REST APIs, and create automation solutions that have reduced manual testing efforts by 80% while ensuring production reliability.

As a Silver Medalist from NIT Raipur (9.53 CGPA), I combine strong software engineering fundamentals with quality-first development practices. I'm a Google Summer of Code 2026 contributor to Checkstyle, with 260+ merged pull requests across 3 repositories — building automated documentation tooling, search infrastructure, and CI/CD pipelines used by 1,000+ developers.

My expertise spans backend development, test automation frameworks, cloud technologies (GCP), and AI integration. I build robust software while ensuring it's testable, maintainable, and production-ready — bridging development and quality engineering.
