Software engineer who builds backends, ships them to the cloud, and gets a little too competitive at CTFs. B.Tech CSE grad (LPU, class of 2026). I'm open to work in Cloud/DevOps, Backend and Software Engineering roles, so please hire me before I automate my own job hunt.
role: [Cloud / DevOps Engineer, Backend Developer, Software Engineer]
status: open to work (yes, the email really is hireme@ im desperate)
certs: [AWS Cloud Practitioner, Azure AZ-900, CompTIA Security+]
experience: Automation Tester @ HCL Technologies (2021-2022)
hobbies: [CTFs, osu!, tweaking Windows until it begs for mercy]
uptime: high. sleep schedule: degraded.- 🧪 Spent a year at HCL automating 40+ website features with Selenium. Bugs got found ~20% faster and I learned to never trust a flaky test.
- 🚩 Designed challenges for 8+ hackathons and CTFs and mentored junior hackers. Sorry about the ones nobody solved.
- 🏆 Rank #1 at Chakravyuh CTF, RCS CTF 2024 and The Encrypted Warfare Hackathon. #2 at HackSkills CTF, #3 at university level for SIH.
- 🛠️ I like owning the whole path: write the API, containerize it, wire up CI/CD, then stare at Grafana until it stays green.
- ☁️ My bio says "I write terrible code that runs on my system". These days I put it in a container so it runs on yours too.
