Hi, I'm Rahul, a passionate Software Engineer and third-year Computer Science student at Western University. I specialize in full-stack development using React, Java, Node.js, Python, and Django, and enjoy building user-focused applications.

Built a Python data pipeline processing a 28,795-row search dataset (90-day trailing aggregates), engineering features across 4 signals with leakage-safe, client-grouped transformations. Benchmarked a Random Forest model against a baseline on a held-out 5,759-row test split, validating feature reliability using permutation importance. Shipped an automated decision-support API output ("Action Playbook") that replaced manual review with data-driven prioritization for downstream teams.
Self-Employed · Remote
Built and maintained backend services and REST APIs for 5+ clients using Node.js, Express.js, and PostgreSQL, deployed to AWS with automated CI/CD pipelines. Improved application performance with 50% faster load times through backend optimization and query tuning. Owned projects end-to-end: requirements gathering, system design, automated deployment pipelines, and production releases on AWS.

Honours Specialisation in Computer Science. Relevant coursework: Data Structures & Algorithms, Databases, Software Engineering, Operating Systems.
A real-time login anomaly detection service — FastAPI backend flagging impossible travel, brute-force attempts, and device anomalies from a 33M+ event dataset, deployed with Docker.
A reinforcement learning system for simulating and evaluating high-performance computing (HPC) workloads — optimising scheduling strategies with custom RL agents.
A smart calendar app that lets you add, delete, and view events — with an AI twist: parse events directly from uploaded PDFs or plain text.
Hackathon-winning AI healthcare assistant built in 24 hours at TerraHacks 2025 — Django REST APIs integrating Google Gemini for AI-assisted triage, with role-based access control to protect patient data.
A Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites and page elements — with granular control over which sites and which DOM elements to hide, keeping you in flow.
A serverless booking API built on Azure Functions with JWT-based authentication, rate limiting, and a clean REST interface — scalable to millions of requests with zero server management.
A real-time multiplayer social deduction game — Node.js/TypeScript backend via Socket.IO sustaining sub-100ms latency and 99.5% uptime, supporting 1,000+ production sessions.
This very site — built from scratch with a WebGL cloud shader, 3D project carousel, parallax scrolling, shooting stars, and glassmorphism cards. Zero frameworks, pure HTML/CSS/JS.
I'm currently looking for internship and new grad opportunities. Whether you have a question, a project idea, or just want to say hi — my inbox is always open.
