Experience

Where I've built

Nov 2025

Pune, India

ByteOski Developers

Software Engineering Intern

  • Containerized the WpriseAI platform's microservices with Docker and orchestrated them on self-managed Kubernetes clusters across Contabo bare-metal VMs, cutting deployment time by 60% and enabling horizontal scaling without a managed cloud provider.
  • Built and load-tested a real-time Node.js and Socket.IO backend holding 10,000+ concurrent WebSocket connections stable under sustained load.
  • WpriseAI is live and launched on Product Hunt, growing to thousands of users — the platform it runs on is the one above, scaling daily.

Pune, India

Cummins Software and Electronics

Software Engineering Intern

  • Designed the technical roadmap for RP1210 API integration, enabling secure remote diagnostics of engine ECM modules at 95% reliability parity with a physical on-site connection.
  • Built a proof-of-concept remote parameter-testing system for electronic control modules, cutting on-site diagnostic and troubleshooting requirements by 40%.

May 2025 — Sep 2025

Pune, India

Uzence Design Studio

Frontend Developer Intern

  • Built a component library and design system in React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, adopted across B2B clients and making legacy-system upgrades 70% faster to implement.

Things I've shipped

KiCad MCP Server

Real-time automation & debugging layer

Replaced an unstable SWIG-based communication layer with IPC, giving an AI agent live bidirectional read/write access to KiCad instead of one-way file generation. Automated DRC-driven correction workflows and rule-based debugging cut bus-short errors from 198 to 130 with no manual intervention.

ARIA

Artificial Runtime Intelligence Architecture — natural language to firmware

An agentic workflow that turns plain-English intent into working ESP32/ESP8266 firmware. A RAG pipeline retrieves the relevant datasheet context from ChromaDB so generation stays grounded in the actual part, and a state-aware generator tracks what is already flashed to the board rather than emitting code from scratch each time. A FastAPI service fronts Groq and AWS Bedrock for inference and orchestrates delivery over both USB flashing and OTA updates, covering diagnostics, incremental code updates, and component changes on deployed hardware.
