Experience
17 months
Role
Full Stack Web Developer
My journey started with curiosity—asking “why” and “how” more than “what,” which led me to software engineering. In college, I led C++ sessions, managed RCC Techz's Magazine, and performed on stage, learning to blend structure with creativity. I dived into MERN Stack and Next.js development, optimizing features, and improving systems by automating 95% of test execution cases. I thrive on mentoring, collaborating, and solving real-world problems. Lately, AI and Machine Learning excite me, and my mission is to create dynamic solutions that impact users, teams, and the world around me.
Exavalu

Software Engineer Trainee
May 2024 - July 2025
At Exavalu, I worked as a Software Engineer Trainee on the PSA Collectors platform, a web application for managing and trading collectible items. Using React and JavaScript, I fixed critical pre-production bugs, automated CI/CD pipelines with GitHub workflows and Gen AI tools, and improved code quality—reducing manual testing by 95% and enhancing platform stability. I led KT sessions, mentored interns, and conducted cross-team demos, boosting collaboration and onboarding efficiency. On the 'My Collection' filter section, I eliminated all bugs, ensuring a seamless user experience and improving user retention and data collection. For PSA Offers and eBay Offers, I optimized logic to deliver user-specific collectible offers and streamlined backend payment processing, increasing revenue and customer satisfaction. I also resolved authentication performance issues, improved grading bot processes, and collaborated with cross-functional teams on the grading system, ensuring accurate customer role management and smooth testing.
RCC Techz
Nagpur, India
Magazine Publication Domain in-charge
Aug 2022 - Dec 2023
At RCC Techz, I took on responsibilities that went beyond coding. I designed and conducted workshops for junior students, guided peers through programming challenges, and contributed to the college magazine by managing technical content. This allowed me to cultivate leadership, mentorship, and organisational skills early on, while also nurturing my passion for technology.
