Projects
ORCare Health Ecosystem
A cross-platform oral health companion with native Android + React web client sharing one secure REST API backend, integrated with Gemini AI for contextual health guidance.
PrepIQ
Full-stack AI interview-prep SaaS built on Next.js 14 with Clerk auth and Prisma/PostgreSQL, evaluating answers via Gemini AI in real time.

Enterprise-grade Farm Management system built with ASP.NET Core MVC at Cognizant, featuring crop tracking, inventory management, and field monitoring with 100% service-layer test coverage.
RetailIQ
AI-powered retail analytics dashboard that surfaces inventory forecasts and sales trends from SQL Server data, built during the Cognizant internship.
Architecture Decision Records
Pessimistic Locking in ORCare
Concurrent edits to chat sessions and quiz submissions across Android and Web platforms could corrupt user data in the shared PostgreSQL backend.
Adopted database-level row locking via Supabase RLS policies combined with JWT-scoped transactions, ensuring each user session holds an exclusive lock during write operations.
Zero data corruption incidents across 58 screens. Slight increase in write latency (~15ms) deemed acceptable for data integrity guarantees.
Next.js App Router for SSR Portfolios
Portfolio sites need excellent SEO, fast initial paint, and minimal client-side JavaScript. Traditional SPAs fail at server-rendered meta tags and structured data injection.
Selected Next.js 16 App Router with server components for static generation and metadata API for per-page OpenGraph/JSON-LD. Client components used only for interactive widgets (terminal, theme toggle).
Full SSG at build time with zero client JS for content pages. Lighthouse SEO score of 100. JSON-LD Person schema validated by Google Rich Results Test.
Native CSS Tokens in Tailwind v4
Tailwind v4 replaces JS config with native CSS @theme directives. The design system needs to support dark mode, custom color tokens, and responsive typography without a tailwind.config.js file.
Defined all design tokens (canvas, surface, line, ink, accent colors) as CSS custom properties in globals.css and registered them via @theme inline. Dark mode uses .dark class selector with next-themes.
Eliminated tailwind.config.js entirely. Tokens are now hot-reloadable and inspectable in DevTools. Reduced build config surface area by 40%.
