Open-source deployment CLI for Next.js
Deploys Next.js applications to DigitalOcean or a Linux server, with reproducible builds, compatibility checks, live logs, and rollback.
- Passes the official Next.js deployment adapter compatibility suite, with documented skips.
- Reduced a measured Docker image from 1.13 GB to 591 MB through pruning.

Production e-commerce platform
Built and operate an online food store with payments, inventory management, and WhatsApp ordering. PostgreSQL row locks protect stock during simultaneous checkouts; verified, idempotent webhooks make payment retries safe.

Payment authorization for AI agents
A payment system built for the Razorpay AI Buildathon, where an agent can transact only within a user-signed spending mandate. A rules engine approves payments, with signatures, replay protection, and an auditable ledger.

Infrastructure change impact analysis on AWS
Builds a dependency graph of an AWS CloudFormation stack, predicts the impact of a change, and checks those predictions against CloudWatch after deployment. In a live test, it flagged a security-group port typo before CloudWatch confirmed the resulting database outage.
TypeScript AWS Lambda Step Functions DynamoDB Bedrock
Built an invoice automation system that reads vendor invoices with OCR, validates GST details, and imports approved invoices into TallyPrime.
During my internships at Sri Sairam Techno Incubator Foundation, I led work on Sairam eMoU Vault, adopted by 8 departments, and Noto, an internal project management platform with role-based access and 155 REST APIs.
