About Me

I'm an Open Source Engineer and Full Stack Developer who works where correctness actually gets decided: specs, test suites and CI. Currently pursuing B.Tech in Computer Science (AI & ML), and selected for Google Summer of Code 2026 with JSON Schema, where I write the format-assertion coverage that every validator implementation gets checked against.

Across 235 merged pull requests in 6+ upstream organisations, I contribute to Podman, Skopeo and Buildah, CNCF OpenCost, Kubernetes SIGs Headlamp and sourcemeta/core. I also serve as CTO @ Shivam-Info and Software Engineer @ Mugafi. My favourite kind of issue is a flaky test nobody trusts any more, so I built ci-flake-triage so that finding them stopped being guesswork.

🎯 What I Specialize In

🌍 Upstream Open Source 235 merged pull requests across JSON Schema, Podman, Skopeo, Buildah, CNCF OpenCost and Kubernetes SIGs Headlamp. One concern per PR, a failing test before the fix, and the spec paragraph quoted in the description.	🔧 CI Reliability & Flake Forensics Hunting the tests nobody trusts any more. Rerun-history analysis, log and journal diffing, race conditions in system tests, and GitHub Actions supply-chain hardening with zizmor.
📋 Specs & Conformance Format-assertion coverage for the JSON Schema Test Suite: uri, iri, uri-template and time, plus RFC 3986 production coverage in C++ for sourcemeta/core. The edge cases every validator gets wrong.	⚛️ Full Stack Development Shipping production web apps with React, Next.js and the MERN stack: booking systems, fintech simulators and AI companions, deployed on Vercel, Railway and Render rather than parked in a demo folder.

Maintainers: if you have a flaky test you have stopped trusting, or a spec corner nobody has written coverage for, that is the message I most want to get.
