Shankar
I build clear, reliable, and user-friendly web applications. Currently expanding into AI/ML, I combine full-stack engineering with AI/ML to create smarter digital experiences.
Expertise_
I develop modern web applications and intelligent systems that emphasize performance, scalability, and usability. My work spans the complete development lifecycle, from system design to deployment, integrating AI/ML capabilities into clean, maintainable architectures.
Frontend
Design and development of responsive user interfaces using React, Vite, and Tailwind CSS. Emphasis on performance optimization, accessibility, and reusable component architecture, supported by subtle motion using Framer Motion and Animate.css.
Backend
Development of secure and scalable backend systems using Django, Django REST Framework, and Node.js. Experience in API design, authentication workflows, and database management with MySQL and Supabase.
AI & ML
Building intelligent systems using Large Language Models (LLMs) and RAG pipelines. Experience with PyTorch, LangChain, and vector databases to create context-aware AI applications.
Integration
Integration of frontend and backend systems into cohesive applications with structured data flow, reliable performance, and production-ready deployment practices.

Experience_
A timeline of my professional journey.
SDE Intern
Built full-stack web applications with React and Django. Designed fast interfaces, structured clean APIs, and managed data with MySQL. Focused on performance, accessibility, and delivering smooth user experiences.
Website Development Head
Leading development and maintenance of Init Club's platforms. Built scalable Supabase backends and high-performance React frontends using Vite and Tailwind CSS, while managing workflows, code reviews, and Git-based collaboration.
Frontend Developer (Remote)
Revamped the competition website with a modern UI theme. Refactored legacy Next.js components to reduce technical debt, and optimized frontend performance through improved architecture and state management.
Projects_
Engineering systems and open-source tools that I have created.
Dead Poets Society
A collaborative poetry-sharing ecosystem where users can publish original works, build a following, and discover diverse literary voices. Features include Google authentication, community content feeds, and a robust set of moderation tools to ensure a safe creative environment.
MacroPad
Precision-focused desktop automation engine featuring a Rust daemon for microsecond-accurate event capture and playback. Includes a custom domain-specific scripting language supporting complex control flows, variables, and modular macro composition.
doc-to-logic-pipeline
Advanced document extraction pipeline that transforms unstructured PDFs into high-fidelity JSON. Supports dual processing modes: strict schema validation for clinical data objects and a zero-schema approach optimized for generating large-scale LLM training datasets.
Web Portfolio_
A gallery of websites and platforms I've contributed to or developed for external teams.
Dead Poets Society - A poetry-sharing platform built with Next.js and Supabase, enabling users to publish poems, follow creators, and explore community content with Google authentication and integrated moderation tools.
InCTF (Indian Capture The Flag) - Revamped the official InCTF website, a leading national cybersecurity competition platform, by implementing a new visual theme, refactoring legacy components, and resolving technical debt to improve maintainability and performance.
Init Club - Led the development of the club's official website as Website Development Head, architecting a scalable React and Supabase full-stack system while introducing reusable UI patterns and maintainable engineering workflows.
