Open to opportunities

Hi, I am Sarankirthic. Building systems that scale — from microcontrollers to the cloud. I engineer real-time backends, data pipelines, and embedded solutions that are fast, resilient, and built to last. Whether it's a distributed event-driven platform or a cloud-native API, I bring precision and purpose to every layer of the system.

Projects
Data Analytics Platform Python, Apache Spark, PostgreSQL, Docker, AWS
Problem Statement:

Organizations generate massive volumes of data from multiple sources, but lack a unified system to ingest, process, and visualize it in real time. This leads to delayed decision-making, fragmented insights, and inefficient manual reporting pipelines that fail to scale with growing data demands.

The Idea:

Build an end-to-end data platform that automates the flow of raw data from ingestion through transformation to real-time visualization, eliminating manual bottlenecks and giving stakeholders live, actionable insights.

Solution:

A fully integrated data pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources, processes and transforms it in real time using event-driven architecture, and delivers interactive dashboards and visualizations — enabling faster, data-driven decisions at scale.

E-Commerce Platform Spring Boot, React, MySQL, Redis, Stripe API
Problem Statement:

Small and mid-sized businesses struggle to establish a reliable online retail presence due to the complexity of building secure, scalable storefronts. Existing solutions are either too costly, heavily restricted, or lack robust payment security — making it difficult to serve customers safely and efficiently.

The Idea:

Develop a full-stack e-commerce platform that handles the complete shopping experience — from product browsing and cart management to checkout — with secure, end-to-end payment integration built in from the ground up.

Solution:

A scalable web application featuring product listings, user authentication, order management, and seamlessly integrated secure payment gateways — giving businesses a reliable, ready-to-deploy online store that ensures safe transactions and a smooth customer experience.

Learning Management System Java, Spring Boot, Thymeleaf, MySQL, Spring Security
Problem Statement:

Educational institutions and organizations struggle to manage course delivery, track learner progress, and control access across different user roles — instructors, students, and admins — in one place. Fragmented tools and manual tracking lead to poor learning outcomes and administrative overhead.

The Idea:

Build a centralized LMS that unifies course management, learner progress tracking, and role-based access control under a single platform — giving every stakeholder a tailored, permission-appropriate experience.

Solution:

A comprehensive web-based platform where admins manage users, instructors create and deliver course content, and students track their own learning progress — all enforced through granular role-based access control, ensuring a structured, secure, and measurable learning environment.

Paisley — News Recognition & Automation Python, TensorFlow, Flask, MongoDB
Problem Statement:

The modern news landscape is overwhelmed with content from countless sources, making it nearly impossible for users to filter relevant information, detect patterns across stories, or receive personalized recommendations without spending hours manually sifting through feeds — leading to information overload and missed insights.

The Idea:

Leverage AI to automatically analyze incoming news content, recognize patterns, topics, and trends across sources, and deliver intelligent, personalized recommendations — turning raw news volume into a curated, meaningful experience for each user.

Solution:

An AI-powered engine that continuously ingests news data, applies pattern recognition to identify recurring themes and emerging trends, and serves tailored content recommendations — automating the discovery process and ensuring users always receive the most relevant, timely news with minimal effort.

Kafka Routing Orchestrator Apache Kafka, Java, Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes
Problem Statement:

In large-scale distributed systems, messages flowing between microservices often require complex routing logic based on content, priority, or destination. Hardcoded routing rules create brittle, unmaintainable pipelines that struggle to adapt to changing architectures — leading to message bottlenecks, misrouting, and cascading failures across services.

The Idea:

Build an intelligent orchestration layer on top of Kafka that dynamically evaluates incoming messages and routes them to the correct topics, consumers, or services — decoupling routing logic from individual microservices and centralizing control.

Solution:

A Kafka-based routing orchestrator that applies configurable, rule-driven logic to intelligently direct messages across distributed services in real time — improving pipeline reliability, reducing inter-service coupling, and enabling seamless scaling and reconfiguration without redeploying individual components.

Twitter Clone — Social Media Platform React, Node.js, MongoDB, WebSocket, Redis
Problem Statement:

Building a social networking platform that handles real-time interactions — posts, likes, follows, and live feeds — at scale is a significant engineering challenge. Most prototype social apps fail under concurrent user load, lack real-time responsiveness, or cannot efficiently deliver personalized feeds as the user base grows.

The Idea:

Design and develop a scalable social media platform inspired by Twitter's core mechanics, prioritizing real-time content delivery, user interaction, and a distributed architecture capable of handling high concurrency without performance degradation.

Solution:

A full-stack social networking application supporting user posts, follows, likes, and live feed updates — built on a scalable backend with real-time WebSocket-driven interactions, efficient data modeling for feed generation, and an architecture designed to handle growing user demand reliably.
