Work Experience #

Till date, I have worked in a corporate environment only once during my summer internship at Reliance Industries Limited during May to June of 2025.

During my time at Reliance, I engineered a scalable custom telemetry platform (C#/.NET, TypeScript) for company devices and deployed it to 12,000+ endpoints, handling over 100 GiB of daily data ingestion.
