About Me

I'm Mukesh — a software engineer who genuinely enjoys the craft of building things. I started writing code in college, drawn in by the ability to turn ideas into something real and useful. Five years later, that excitement hasn't faded.

Over the years, I've built across the full stack — React frontends that feel snappy, Node.js and Python APIs that scale under pressure, and cloud infrastructure that actually stays up. I care about both the product experience and the engineering underneath it.

More recently, I've been deep in the AI space — integrating LLMs into real products, building RAG pipelines that retrieve relevant context at scale, and figuring out what "production-ready AI" actually means in practice. It's messy and exciting, and I'm all in on it.

I'm currently pursuing an MS in Computer Science, which has given me the time to go deeper on distributed systems and machine learning theory — concepts that directly inform how I think about building reliable, scalable software.

When I'm not shipping code, I'm usually reading about system design, tinkering with side projects, or explaining embeddings to people at coffee shops who didn't ask. If you're building something interesting, I'd love to hear about it.
