About Me
I'm a Software Engineer Trainee at iServeU (Bhubaneswar) building production-grade Java Spring Boot microservices for high-volume NPCI and external payment systems. My work touches encryption, token management, API orchestration, Docker containerization, and CI/CD pipelines.
Before that, I worked as a Machine Learning Intern at Neophyte (Pune), where I developed product detection models using YOLOv8, PaliGemma, and Florence-2 — improving accuracy by 20% through hyperparameter tuning. I also built an LLM-powered chat assistant.
I graduated from Veer Surendra Sai University of Technology, Burla with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (CGPA 8.53), and I'm deeply curious about the intersection of robust backend systems and intelligent machine learning applications.
Work Experience
- Led, developed and maintained scalable Java Spring Boot microservices handling high-volume NPCI and external payment systems, processing middleware requests via secure APIs.
- Worked in an Agile environment implementing encryption, decryption, token management, and checksum validation using Java cryptographic libraries (AES/RSA).
- Designed API orchestration and workflow management with robust exception handling across AT and PROD environments, ensuring fintech compliance.
- Containerized services with Docker and automated build/deploy workflows via CI/CD pipelines, reducing manual deployment effort by 40%.
- Monitored CPU & Disk utilization logs, reducing transaction failures by 30%.
- Developed and optimized product detection models using YOLOv8, PaliGemma, and Florence-2.
- Improved model accuracy by 20% through image annotation, preprocessing, and hyperparameter tuning.
- Built a functional LLM-powered chat assistant, enhancing user interaction and automated support.
- Gained hands-on experience with transformers and large language models (LLMs) and embeddings for semantic understanding in AI-driven workflows.
Skills & Stack
Selected Projects
