Third-year CS student at Jamia Hamdard, New Delhi. I have a habit of reading codebases until I find something broken, and an equally bad habit of not stopping there but fixing it. Fuelled by an unreasonable amount of coffee.
Apache Fineract — 10+ merged PRs since January 2026.
The most significant was removing the self-service module entirely: 196 files, around 11,300 lines, one commit. The module had been disabled after a security audit found seven distinct OWASP-class vulnerabilities, all rooted in the same architectural decision. Going through those files is what led me to propose the Borrower BFF (FINERACT-2439) — a standalone service that handles borrower identity and authentication correctly, separate from Fineract's back-office security model.
Other contributions include a PostgreSQL schema fix in the query service layer, removal of stale Pentaho report data, fixing undo transactions for Fixed Deposit accounts, batching N+1 database queries across several services, and removing a write path that had been silently broken since 2015.
Apache Fory — Added IEEE 754 float16 type support to the Rust runtime.
Hiero SDK Python — CI automation (conventional PR title enforcement), repr method implementations, and docstring improvements.
Applied to GSoC 2026 to build the Borrower Backend-for-Frontend for Apache Fineract (FINERACT-2439 and FINERACT-2440). The proposal covers a standalone Spring Boot service with its own identity store, RS256 JWT authentication, HMAC OTP registration, idempotency enforcement, and a reference React client that validates the API end-to-end. The architecture came directly from the security analysis done during the self-service removal.
MeetingMind — AWS AIdeas 2026 Semi-Finalist (Top 1000 of ~50,000 entries) Serverless meeting intelligence platform across 14 AWS services. Uploads a recording, returns a transcript with speaker labels, extracted decisions, action items with risk scores, and a Kanban board to track follow-through. The part I think about most is the Graveyard — tasks untouched for 30 days with an AI-generated note on why they probably died. Live demo
