Turning caffeine and curiosity into secure, scalable, and high-performance software

I'm a software engineer with 2 years of professional experience across web, mobile, and ML systems. I recently graduated from Virginia Tech with my MS in Computer Engineering (GPA 3.85) and I care a lot about building things that are fast, reliable, and actually useful and lately, about what becomes possible when you bring LLMs into the product layer.

Los Angeles, California, United States • Remote

  • Built a Flutter-based social discovery app with features for dating, networking, event discovery, and friend matching.
  • Reduced crash rate 25% and load times 40% by migrating a production Flutter codebase from Bloc to clean architecture using Riverpod.
  • Built the client-side messaging interface for real-time chat, consuming REST APIs and WebSockets within a Flutter codebase.
  • Redesigned the UI across 5 core modules with new visual design and animations, collaborating with designers via Figma and engineers in daily Scrum meetings managed on Jira.

Mumbai, Maharashtra, India • Hybrid

  • Sustained 100K+ daily transactions at 99.9% uptime and cut deployment time ~70% by decomposing a legacy monolith into independently deployable Azure Docker microservices, improving scalability by isolating module failures so each request hit an independent, less-loaded service.
  • Rebuilt the backend on a RESTful Laravel architecture with JWT/OAuth-based RBAC and token expiry, replacing a legacy vanilla-PHP codebase.
  • Cut manual data processing 30+ hours per week and increased throughput 150% by building a full Python ETL pipeline (extract, filter, normalize, aggregate, load) into MySQL with BeautifulSoup/Selenium extraction.
  • Modernized legacy modules into a reusable component library, breaking down 3,000+ line monolithic files by migrating to Angular 16.
  • Hardened platform security by implementing RBAC, input validation and sanitization, and vault-based secrets management.

About Me

Vishal's portrait

Full-stack engineer focused on building software that ships fast and scales further

I have two years of professional experience building full-stack web apps, cross-platform mobile apps, and ML systems across startups and product companies. My stack spans React, Angular, Node.js, Flutter, Python, and cloud infrastructure on AWS, Azure, and GCP. I care about clean architecture, real performance metrics, and shipping things that actually work in production.

I recently graduated with my MS in Computer Engineering from Virginia Tech and am actively looking for roles in fintech, developer tools, and LLM-powered products. I build with AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code daily, and I am most excited about work that sits at the intersection of solid engineering and meaningful product decisions.
