About me

userImage

Hi, I'm Tanishq, a Master's student at UC Irvine and a former JPMorgan Chase developer who enjoys breaking things just to figure out how to scale them, usually with Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, and applied AI (plus snacks). I build robust backend systems that handle millions of daily transactions, and I love figuring out how to actually deploy intelligent LLM models into real products rather than just experimenting with them. My days involve REST APIs, event-driven architectures, fine-tuning models, and way too many console.logs, all fueled by tea and curiosity. When I am not coding, you can find me competing in hackathons, building projects, brainstorming startup ideas, or passionately explaining why "it works on my machine" is still a completely valid argument.
