About Me

Building systems that scale

I'm Prakash Chand Meena, a Computer Science undergrad at IIIT Dharwad (batch of 2028). I specialise in backend engineering, scalable web architecture, and competitive programming — with a relentless focus on clean code, optimal algorithms, and systems that just work.

From crafting real-time collaboration platforms with Socket.IO to building AI-powered code generators with Gemini API, I bring a builder's mindset to everything I touch. I don't just complete features — I think deeply about architecture, performance, and long-term maintainability.

Outside of code: I grind DSA for sport (500+ problems, 1700+ ratings on both LeetCode and CodeChef), contribute to open source, and represent startup ideas at national-level events.
