Work Highlights
- Built JWT-based source verification using ES256 algorithm to secure cross-app access for 40,000+ students.

Side Projects
- HumaraCart 2026
Shared household cart agent on WhatsApp built using Instamart's MCP server, for Swiggy Builders Club -keeps everyone's adds in one unified cart.
- Prepit 2026
RAG-based knowledge base for interview prep -built end to end.
- Batch ingestion silently fell back to keyword search with no error -caught only via shell experiments.
- Deleting messages to manage context window cost meant losing training data -switched to session IDs instead.
- Hybrid search score can't measure semantic relevance -used near_vector distance separately for out-of-scope detection.
