Rinky Commerce Engine

Production jewellery storefront and admin platform.

In production
  • Shipped a live production storefront serving Rinky Jewellers, engineered end to end on Node.js and Express as 5 REST route groups over 4 Mongoose models on MongoDB Atlas, deployed to Render behind a /healthz probe.
  • Hardened every account workflow: bcrypt password hashing, Mongo-backed sessions on 7-day httpOnly SameSite cookies, role-gated admin APIs, Helmet security headers, and a 20-request / 15-minute rate limiter on every authentication route.
  • Built Brevo-backed email verification and password recovery, an admin console for product CRUD, featured-item and enquiry management, and authenticated customer wishlists across 14 server-rendered views with no frontend build step.

2025 – 2026 · COMPUTER VISION

Attendance System using Facial Recognition

Real-time biometric pipeline.

Solo build
  • Developed an automated biometric pipeline in Python on OpenCV with DeepFace/MTCNN embeddings, achieving 99.2% face-verification accuracy across a 500+ student dataset under dynamic lighting conditions.
  • Optimised RTSP camera stream processing with multi-threaded frame batching and FAISS vector indexing (cosine similarity), cutting end-to-end recognition latency to 42 ms at 30 FPS.
  • Built an anti-spoofing liveness filter (eye-blink and texture variance) and automated audit logs syncing to PostgreSQL through FastAPI with asynchronous error-retry queues.

JUL 2026 – PRESENT · RESEARCH PLATFORM

AdityaNet

Verifiable research platform over the Aditya-L1 solar X-ray archive.

Null result published
  • Built a Python pipeline parsing ISRO Aditya-L1 SoLEXS/HEL1OS X-ray products under a fail-loud contract into a SHA-256 digest-addressed dataset — 7 tables, 1,985 Parquet files, 569 MiB over 28 months.
  • Ran a pre-registered benchmark (fixed seed, day-block bootstrap CIs) on a 192,541-minute chronological hold-out, since random splits leak at 0.80 autocorrelation. Learned models (ROC-AUC 0.966) do not beat a single count-rate threshold (0.954).
  • Made a wrong figure unpublishable: a CI gate re-reads every artifact and fails the build on drift, and a PolicyLeakageError gate structurally refuses test-derived policy after I proved and voided my own leaked thresholds; 18 Astro routes ship 0 KB JavaScript.
