A write-ahead log based key-value storage engine built in Go. Implements crash recovery, segment-based WAL flushing, and durable commit semantics from scratch.
A Bloom filter implementation in Go for probabilistic set membership testing. Uses multiple hash functions to achieve space-efficient false-positive-bounded lookups.
Full-stack blogging platform with AI-powered content generation. Features Docker Compose setup, REST API backend, and a React frontend deployed to AWS App Runner.
Campus connectivity & event management platform with real-time chat and QR ticketing. Served 400+ concurrent students during college fests with Go-powered WebSocket goroutines.
Collaborative interview preparation platform with category-based question banks and real-time progress tracking. Built with Go/Gin for high-throughput query handling.
A terminal-based typing speed test written in pure Go. Measures WPM and accuracy in real-time, using raw terminal I/O and goroutine-based input processing.
Sustainable activity tracker incentivizing eco-friendly living through gamified milestones and global leaderboards. Uses MongoDB oplog and Redis cache for score aggregation.
