Backend engineer building distributed backend systems, authentication and identity infrastructure, and AI-powered applications. Formerly SDE II at AWS (UnifiedAuth) and an engineer at HSBC; previously a machine learning intern at HighRadius.

llmgate - routing, failover, streaming, per-key rate limits and usage metering behind one /v1/chat/completions endpoint. Live demo → · Source →

actas - an RFC 8693 token-exchange reference implementation where permissions can only shrink down a delegation chain, with DPoP-style sender constraints and a hash-chained audit log. Live demo → · Source →

Vigilant - turns an Indian stock name into a structured, evidence-backed investment view. Source →

Both live demos are tested working prototypes, not production services. llmgate keys reach the simulated providers only; two real free-tier Groq models sit behind explicit buttons.

Merged upstream:

• gookit/goutil #316 - timex now decodes JSON strings before parsing dates: escaped timestamps decode correctly, numbers can no longer be misread as dates, and 0/1 no longer cause a slice-bounds panic. Merged 12 Nov 2026.
• gorakhargosh/watchdog #1458 - strengthened the EventDebouncer tests in watchdog: the old starvation test also passed with elapsed-time flushing removed, so the rewritten tests synchronize the debouncer lifecycle and add regressions that fail under that mutation. Test-only, no production code changed. Merged 14 Nov 2026.
• nushell/reedline #1303 - fixed fallback completion highlighting: the fallback searched a lowercased copy and returned UTF-8 byte offsets where the styler expects grapheme indices, so underlining drifted after accents, emoji and case expansions; offsets now map back to the original displayed graphemes. Public API unchanged; 18 added cases with the library suite and doctests passing locally. Merged 14 Nov 2026.
• sqlfluff/sqlfluff #9140 - added PostgreSQL CREATE TRANSFORM and DROP TRANSFORM parsing to SQLFluff: scripts that define procedural-language type conversions (like the hstore_plpython extension) now lint without parse errors. Fixtures cover both conversion directions, optional signatures, schema-qualified and quoted names, IF EXISTS and CASCADE/RESTRICT, validated against native PostgreSQL 18 grammar via pglast. Merged 15 Nov 2026.
• pyenv/pyenv #3633 - fixed python-build's custom dependency header detection: configured_with_package_dir only inspected global CPPFLAGS alongside a CPPFLAGS= configure argument, missed package-specific flags, and read the make-option array instead of the configure-option array, so a custom Readline header path could be ignored and Homebrew's paths prepended ahead of the user's. Now global and package-specific CPPFLAGS are checked independently against the configure options. Merged 15 Nov 2026.

Open work continues upstream across Python, Rust, JavaScript and TypeScript projects; highlights stay capped at the five most recent merged contributions and earlier entries remain in GitHub history.
