About
I am a Software Developer at Quintera Infotech LLP, where I build the Go backend for FitDuel, a real-time 1v1 fitness app, using REST APIs, WebSockets, and AWS services. With over 0.8 years of full-time experience, I have worked on systems involving PostgreSQL, Redis, and cloud infrastructure, delivering features from database schema to production. My strongest skills include Go, Gin, GORM, REST APIs, and AWS technologies. I am looking to grow further as a Backend Developer, focusing on scalable and efficient systems.

Build and maintain the Go (Gin) backend for FitDuel, a real-time 1v1 fitness app, on PostgreSQL and Redis. Built features end to end: achievements, seasons, Battle Pass, in-app purchases, and Redis sorted-set leaderboards. Deploy to AWS ECS Fargate with rolling, zero-downtime deploys through GitHub Actions; the ML service runs on AWS Lambda as a container image. Also built mobile features in React Native and Flutter.

Projects
FitDuel
Go, Gin, PostgreSQL, Redis, WebSockets, AWS
Backend split into two Go services: the main API and a separate containerized ML inference service. Wrote the WebSocket server for live duels: goroutines and channels per connection, mutexes around shared match state, and cleanup when a player drops. Redis Pub/Sub delivers duel events across server instances. Moved slow work (XP updates, emails, anti-cheat checks) to background workers on AWS SQS, with dead-letter queues for failed messages.
ExamMaster
Go, Gin, PostgreSQL, React
Multi-tenant app in Go (Gin) that generates exam seating plans for colleges; each college sees only its own data. Imports student lists from PDF, CSV, and Excel, and generates seating PDFs on the server, stored on Cloudflare R2. Fixed a race condition when two users saved seating plans at the same time.
Snippy
Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker
URL shortener in Go with separate handler, service, and repository layers, unit-tested with mocks (75%+ coverage). Redis cache for fast redirects; Docker image built and deployed by GitHub Actions behind Nginx.
GloryBoard
Registration portal and live results site (team of 4) used by 100+ colleges and 5,000+ users; added a backend cache when live traffic slowed the results page.
