Software Engineer Intern

I am a 2026 fresh graduate (B.Tech Information Technology) with hands-on experience building scalable backend systems using Java, Spring Boot, distributed architectures, and AI-powered applications. Through internships at AutoZone and Bluestock, I have worked on REST APIs, event-driven systems with Kafka and Redis, authentication and security, cloud infrastructure, and performance optimization in production environments.


Beyond internships, I enjoy building products from scratch and have developed full-stack applications ranging from expense management platforms to AI-powered productivity tools. I also have a strong foundation in data structures and algorithms, with a 1900+ LeetCode rating and 500+ problems solved across coding platforms.


I am currently seeking entry-level Software Engineer (SDE-1/SWE-1/Associate Developer) or Backend Engineer opportunities where I can contribute to building reliable products, scalable systems, and meaningful user experiences. I am open to both fast-growing startups and established technology companies, and I am particularly excited about roles that offer strong engineering challenges, ownership, and opportunities to learn and grow.
