About

Background

I'm a software engineer with 2.5+ years of professional experience in software development, systems integration and infrastructure deployment. I worked at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a research and development organisation under the Government of India, contributing to large-scale national level emergency response platforms including Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112), Women Helpline (WHL-181) and Child Helpline (CHL-1098).

My work included developing backend services using Node.js, MongoDB, PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ, including the integration of Google Emergency Location Service (ELS) and the WhatsApp Business Platform. I also worked on Linux servers, virtual machines, VMware ESXi, vCenter, load balancing and network configuration as part of system deployment and integration activities.

I hold an MSc in Information Systems with First Class Honours from the University of Galway and a B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering. For my MSc research I designed SPHERE, a framework for secure health record exchange, and built a working prototype that connects two independent EHR systems and a patient portal using HL7 FHIR, Node.js, MongoDB and PostgreSQL. My academic work has further developed my experience in cloud computing, AWS, CI/CD, Agile and software development. I'm interested in opportunities across software engineering, backend development and cloud or systems engineering.

Experience

Where I've worked

Feb 2023 to Aug 2025

Software Engineer

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC)
R&D Organisation under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India

Designed and integrated Google Emergency Location Service (ELS) into the PAN-India Emergency Response Support System (ERSS-112), reducing location-fetch time by up to 80%.
Built a centralised server and distributed backend modules using Node.js, MongoDB, RabbitMQ and React, working with government officials and third-party providers.
Improved ELS backend performance by 200% by optimising database queries and server configuration, and benchmarked it with Apache JMeter to sustain 4,500+ requests/second in a mission-critical production environment.
Improved emergency call handling time over 80% by integrating the WhatsApp Business Platform with ERSS-112 using Node.js, React, Kafka and PostgreSQL, enabling precise GPS-based caller location and automating the collection of basic caller information.
Built a Grafana-based dashboard to monitor ELS server health and message throughput across a 3-node distributed configuration.
Contributed to R&D work on LoRa-based IoT communication systems using STM32 and Raspberry Pi Pico, exploring a redundant long-range connectivity channel for emergency-response applications.
Deployed and managed 30+ Linux virtual machines per state using VMware ESXi and vCenter, including server configuration, patching, upgrades, load balancing, networking and infrastructure troubleshooting to maintain high availability for ERSS-112.
Reduced deployment time by 75% by maintaining accurate, step-by-step technical documentation for system configuration, deployment and troubleshooting procedures.
Provided day-to-day and on-call support for ERSS-112 across 25+ states, resolving application and integration issues including after-hours incidents, provisioning operator user accounts and escalating hardware issues to vendors (HP, Dell).
Enabled adoption of new systems across 10+ states in India by delivering on-site installation, configuration and technical training for ERSS-112, Women Helpline (WHL-181) and Child Helpline (CHL-1098).

Beyond Code

Exploring the world through a different lens

Outside of systems and code, I enjoy photography as a creative outlet, shooting as @the_clickr.
My work mainly focuses on nature, light, landscapes, and long-exposure astrophotography, with an interest in capturing details and moments that are easy to overlook.
