SDE Intern @ Xalen AI · B.Tech IT @ IIIT Bhubaneswar (CGPA 8.56) · Placement Coordinator
Real-time voice systems · pure-Rust ephemeris (650+★) · professional AI evals for frontier labs
I build production systems at the intersection of backend engineering, real-time AI, and open source:
- Xalen AI — SDE Intern: real-time voice pipelines (HTTP → WebRTC), STT streaming, Cerebras inference + semantic caching; core contributor to Xalen Ephemeris
- AI Evals — Handshake AI (current) · Outlier / Scale AI · AirDawg Labs — agent/model evals, rubrics, terminal benchmarking
- Open source & products — Ephemeris (650+★), NF3-Pro chess platform, multimodal retrieval, quant tooling
Focus: Rust · FastAPI · WebRTC · LLM systems · evals · cloud

Xalen Ephemeris — pure-Rust astronomical engine
Rust · WASM · Apache-2.0
Swiss Ephemeris–class engine: memory-safe, zero external data files, WASM-ready. Validated on 100k charts (0 charts >0.1° divergence). 12+ traditions. 650+ GitHub stars · 50+ forks.
NF3-Pro — chess tournament platform
Python · FastAPI · VLM · AWS · OpenTelemetry
Led a 3-person team: microservices on EC2, 5k+ req / 15 min for 250+ concurrent users. Fine-tuned Qwen 2.5 VLM for match-slip OCR (<10.1% CER), FIDE pairings, Grafana observability.
Glance Fashion — compositional multimodal retrieval
Python · SigLIP · LanceDB
Training-free re-ranker over FashionSigLIP so attribute binding (“red tie + white shirt”) doesn’t swap.
Next.js · Rust · LangGraph
Options terminal with a 6-node LangGraph agent for delta-neutral hedging under 800ms; Greeks + live positions.
