About Me

Heyy, I'm Rahul, Software Developer

I am a Software Developer specializing in scalable digital solutions. I architect robust backends using Flask, Node.js, and FastAPI, while building high-performance frontends with Next.js 15, React, and TypeScript.

A frequent competitor in the hackathon circuit, I have secured podium finishes at events like the Atharva Hackathon, GDG Cloud Bengaluru TechSprint, and Tech 4 Good. These high-pressure environments have led me to build impactful projects like Sakhi AI and EduVerse, focusing on public safety and interactive education.

Beyond code, I focus on the infrastructure and deployment layers, working with Docker, Nginx, and GCP. My background in PR and public speaking allows me to bridge technical complexity with clear communication, ensuring every project is functional, maintainable, and well-documented.
