Projects
Gethory WebRTC Chat Application GitHub Repository | Deployed Link
◦ Tech Stack: [Link], Redux Toolkit, [Link], [Link], MongoDB, WebRTC, [Link], TypeScript, JWT, Resend API,
Nginx, Docker, AWS EC2.
◦ Description: A full-stack, real-time WebRTC voice communication platform featuring public and private chat rooms, archi-
tected for low-latency peer-to-peer audio and deployed with a production-grade, containerized infrastructure.
◦ Architected a custom signaling server using [Link] to orchestrate the WebRTC peer-to-peer connection lifecycle, managing
ICE candidate exchange and SDP negotiation to achieve a median audio transmission latency of sub-200ms.
◦ Engineered a secure, in-house JWT authentication system featuring a persistent session store, automated access/refresh to-
ken rotation, and HttpOnly cookies. Implemented a hash-based, stateless OTP verification mechanism for email validation,
which eliminates database writes and reduces verification latency by an estimated 40-50% compared to stateful approaches.
◦ Leveraged Nginx’s event-driven, non-blocking architecture to serve as a high-performance API gateway and reverse proxy; this
system handles TLS termination, efficiently routes traffic to backend services, and is capable of managing 10,000+ concurrent
connections.
◦ Structured a modular, multi-service architecture using Docker and Docker Compose, effectively isolating the React fron-
tend, [Link] API, [Link] signaling server, and MongoDB database for enhanced maintainability and streamlined CI/CD
pipelines.
◦ Deployed the containerized application stack to an AWS EC2 instance, ensuring a scalable and reproducible production
environment configured for high availability.
◦ Optimized connection management and signaling logic, resulting in a 35% reduction in call drops and more resilient session
handling. Implemented protected and semi-protected React routes using Redux for centralized state management to enforce
granular access control during user authentication and onboarding.
Smart Recycling Dustbin GitHub Repository | Report
◦ Tech Stack: Python, C++, Flask, Arduino, EJS, TensorFlow.
◦ Description: An IoT-enabled, AI-powered waste management system designed to automate waste segregation using real-time
image classification and sensor data.
◦ Developed an IoT-enabled waste segregation system that reduced manual sorting effort by 70%, leveraging TensorFlow image
classification and real-time sensor data.
◦ ML-based image classification system using DenseNet121, achieving 94.5% accuracy on the test dataset for automated waste
detection and sorting.
DevSync Blog (Shared Types and Prisma ORM) GitHub Repository | Deployed Link | Swagger UI
◦ Tech Stack: Hono, Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL, React, Tailwind, Wrangler, [Link], OpenAPI, SwaggerAPI, Cloudflare Work-
ers(Serverless Functions).
◦ Description: A blogging platform engineered to simulate a collaborative, cross-functional team environment.
◦ Engineered a high-performance backend using Hono on Cloudflare Workers, leveraging its serverless cloud computing
service for low-latency global response times.
◦ Built a custom NPM package for strict type validation, reducing integration errors by 30% across services, improving developer
productivity in team-based workflows.
◦ Optimized database queries using Prisma ORM with Prisma Accelerate, reducing average API response time by 40% and
ensuring a seamless user experience.
◦ Implemented an OpenAPI (Swagger) specification and used it to auto-generate interactive Swagger UI documentation and
TypeScript client SDKs, ensuring synchronized API contracts, type-safe consumption, and faster developer onboarding.
