I’m in my last year of computer science at IIIT Ranchi, and most of what I actually know came from shipping things that then had to keep working. I build platforms across the stack, which in practice means the interface and the machinery behind it are the same job. At Target Board that meant an API surface that absorbed 100,000 registrations in its first two days without falling over. At SecNode it meant a dashboard streaming live scan progress over SSE and WebSockets while a headless Chrome agent drove OWASP ZAP underneath.
The other half of my time goes to competitive programming, across Codeforces, CodeChef and LeetCode. It’s the same instinct as the engineering work: a problem, a hard constraint, and no credit for a solution that only holds on the easy input.
Most recently I was freelancing with Outlier.ai as a frontend developer and AI data annotator — building Next.js and React interfaces used to evaluate pre-release AI models, and annotating speech data for platforms including ElevenLabs and Omni TTS. Reading model output critically all day turned out to be good practice for reading your own code the same way.
Since then my time has gone into staying sharp: data structures and algorithms daily, competitive programming on the weekends, and building projects end to end. I’m looking for a software developer internship or a graduate role where that gets used.
