Hi, I'm Chaitanya
I build data-driven web products and cloud-ready systems that feel fast and intentional.
Systems-minded engineer blending data, cloud, and fintech.
ASU computer science graduate and incoming finance master's student combining rigorous systems training with a bias for shipping real products—quiz platforms, budgeting apps, fraud detection engines, and healthtech.
I enjoy building infrastructure that never gets in the way of product velocity: clean APIs, strong observability, and secure defaults. My toolbox spans Node.js/TypeScript, Python for data, PostgreSQL, containerization, and AWS + OCI to deploy resilient services.
Recent work includes QuizBee on AWS (EC2, ALB, S3, Route53), a MoneyMind budgeting suite with automated insights, and FraudGuard, a streaming anomaly detector for digital payments. I also explore reverse engineering, cryptography, and kernel modules to understand systems end-to-end.
Current focus
- Real-time fraud detection in tokenized settlement systems
- Cloud-native backend patterns with AWS + containerization
- Quant-inspired data workflows for consumer fintech apps
- Security-first engineering from kernel modules to APIs
