Uses

A rundown of the languages, frameworks and tools I have worked with, from payments backends at Bank of New York to the hardware and simulators I used at IIT Bombay.

Backend

Spring Boot and Java are where I cut my teeth. At Bank of New York I used them to build and maintain the backend components behind a payments enablement platform that handles large-scale financial transactions.
REST APIs are the glue for most of what I ship. I have migrated legacy services to new APIs, reshaped their outputs, and redesigned code architecture so one service can serve several APIs cleanly.
For authentication I lean on JWT-based flows to keep verification secure without adding friction to the payment tracking experience.
Git with GitLab for source control and reviews, working in an Agile model with iterative delivery.

Frontend and data

Angular is what I use when a backend needs a face. I built a GUI that consolidates all transaction-related information onto a single tracking screen.
Python for anything data or ML related. I have built an image captioning model with a VGG16 encoder and LSTM decoder, fine-tuned on Flickr8K.
SQL, JavaScript, HTML and CSS round out the toolkit for everyday application work.

Systems and hardware

C++ with the ChampSim simulator for computer architecture work: cache hierarchy optimisation for graph workloads, SIMD and software prefetching for a 5x matrix multiplication speedup.
VHDL for digital design. I built a 16-bit, 8-register pipelined RISC processor with hazard control and data forwarding that hit a CPI of 1.
Embedded C and Assembly on the Pt-51 board, plus custom PCB design for an IoT smart plug that monitors temperature, humidity and energy over BLE and Wi-Fi.
