01. About

I am a B.Tech undergraduate at IIT Guwahati whose work connects software engineering, data and machine learning, and algorithmic problem solving. This combination enables me to design dependable applications, analyse data rigorously, and approach technical problems with strong computational fundamentals.

02. Experience

Full-Stack Developer Intern — Outsyde Adventure Booking Platform

May – Jul 2026 · Remote
Database51 tablesPrisma + PostgreSQL architecture
Security64+ APIsRole-based permission system
PaymentsIdempotentRetry-safe booking transactions
OutcomeProduction-readyConsumer + provider platform
  • Designed a 51-table PostgreSQL database with Prisma, connecting treks, trips, bookings, payments, referrals, and payouts — with relational constraints, price/address snapshots, soft deletes, and append-only audit logs.
  • Built a 9-section admin console with role-based permissions across 64+ APIs, covering provider KYC, user management, refunds, disputes, commissions, and payouts. Fixed a payment race condition with row-level locking to prevent duplicate refunds.
  • Developed the booking platform with consumer and provider portals, retry-safe payments with duplicate-charge protection, and a loyalty wallet system. Added discovery features such as fuzzy search, trending rankings, and sponsored listings.
