about

Engineering for scale, designed for clarity.

I'm Shrashti — a final-year CSE (AI/ML Hons.) student at Manipal University Jaipur, and a backend-leaning software engineer. I spend most of my day in API design, data modeling, auth, and the unglamorous plumbing that keeps products fast and reliable.

I've interned across Merck (Sigma Aldrich), Techlearn Solutions, and Sopra Steria — building FastAPI diagnostics tooling, JWT-secured Node.js APIs, and full-stack MERN systems. I care about correctness, observability, and writing services a future on-call engineer won't curse at 3am.

Lately I've been leaning into AI-integrated systems — wiring AWS Bedrock and Gemini into real products, designing retrieval pipelines, and treating prompts as a first-class part of the architecture instead of an afterthought.

Where I've shipped.

A short tour through the systems I've helped design, build, and keep alive.

  1. Server Administration Intern

    Merck Group (Sigma Aldrich) · Bengaluru, India

    Oct 2025 — Present
    • Building a FastAPI server-diagnostics platform with PowerShell + WinRM — automates real-time collection of disk, network, and server-health metrics as structured JSON.
    • Administering Active Directory, DNS/DHCP, and Kerberos authentication across production environments for identity and access control.
