about

Hi, I'm Sidharth! Thanks for stopping by my website.

I'm a third-year Computer Science and Engineering student at Haldia Institute of Technology (Expected Graduation: 2028) with a strong foundation in C++ and full-stack development.

I have hands-on experience building reactive real-time applications, developing native Android clients, and deploying containerized backend services using Google Cloud Platform and Docker. Passionate about algorithmic problem-solving and scalable software architecture.

Always happy to connect — feel free to say hi! :)

Echo Chat — Native Android Messaging App

[github]

Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Firebase (Auth, Firestore, FCM), Coroutines & Flow, MVVM

  • Developed a reactive real-time Android chat client using Jetpack Compose and MVVM architecture, handling user authentication, presence tracking, and unread counters.
  • Architected asynchronous data streams with Kotlin Coroutines and StateFlow to observe Firestore database changes and maintain low-latency UI state.
  • Built a robust background messaging pipeline using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and local notification managers to deliver push notifications with deep-link navigation.

WatsonX AI Cloud Terminal

[github]

Python, Flask, IBM WatsonX API, Docker, Render

  • Engineered a containerized interactive terminal web interface to query and stream responses from IBM WatsonX AI foundation models.
  • Containerized the Flask backend with Docker and deployed it to Render, securing API credentials through isolated environment variable configurations.
  • Implemented an asynchronous client-server request loop to parse JSON payloads and render live command-line style output in the browser.

Real-Time Web Feed Application

[demo]

Python, Flask, GCP, Cloud Firestore, Custom CSS, Debian Linux

  • Built a full-stack web chat application backed by Flask and Google Cloud Firestore for real-time document synchronization and persistence.
  • Configured, deployed, and self-managed the production build on a Google Cloud Platform Debian VM, handling Linux service daemons and network traffic.
  • Designed a responsive, animated frontend feed with pure CSS to provide fluid message transitions without heavy external frontend dependencies.
