Student at MIT, ex-Intern @Bharat Electronics (BEL), ex-GoLinkGone
Final-year CS student at MIT Bengaluru who builds and ships backend systems. I co-founded GoLinkGone, a URL shortener that reached ~1,000 users in two months, and previously interned at Bharat Electronics (BEL). I work mainly in Java, Spring Boot, and Go. Outside of building, I'm an Expert (1600+ rated) on Codeforces and a Guardian (2100+ rated) on LeetCode.
Hi everyone! I co-founded GoLinkGone, a link management platform with a customizable QR Studio, and built its entire backend in Java and Spring Boot. It reached 1,000+ users and ~23000 redirects in only ~2 months, and ranked #9 of 200+ products in its Peerlist launch week. The interesting part was the click path: redirects are served from a Caffeine cache, and click analytics go into an in-memory queue that's flushed every few seconds as batched upserts into PostgreSQL, so the redirect never waits on a database write. It also had Bucket4j rate limiting, GeoLite2 geolocation, JWT auth with Supabase Google SSO, and a Caddy + Docker deployment. We've since shut the backend down to cut hosting costs, but building it end to end taught me more about backend engineering than any course. I'm a 2027 CS graduate looking for SWE internships and fresher backend roles.
