SEEKING SUMMER 2027TEMPE, AZCS + DATA SCIENCE @ ASU '27

Systems that survive the unhappy path.

I'm Meet Sutariya, a computer science and data science undergraduate at Arizona State. I build across distributed transactions, storage and networking, resilient gateways, and applied retrieval — making failure boundaries explicit, then proving the guarantees hold.

MethodHow I work

The common thread is proof: make state and failure boundaries explicit, test the guarantees against real infrastructure, then measure before making a performance claim.

Portcullis

Enforcing content-bound scanner verdicts while keeping evaluation splits leakage-resistant and reproducible.

FitForge

Tightening authentication races, runtime response validation, browser behavior, and frontend/backend contract checks.

TalentScope

Operating the retrieval service under explicit CPU, readiness, recovery, spend and infrastructure constraints.

02Experience

Three roles, all of them shipping infrastructure.

An evaluation platform measuring how accurately and efficiently LLM agents complete tasks and use tools.

  • Built a platform to evaluate how accurately and efficiently LLM agents complete tasks and use tools across different models.
  • Created a 600-task human-reviewed benchmark with automated regression testing and failure analysis.
  • Improved task success from 72% to 86% and cut average token usage 24% by refining tool selection, retrieval, and structured outputs.

Software Engineer Intern

Digit Software Solutions · Surat, Gujarat, India

A distributed workflow engine in Go running multi-step background jobs across Kafka workers.

  • Built a distributed workflow engine in Go for multi-step background jobs across Kafka workers.
  • Added scheduling, worker leases, heartbeats, persistent state, retries, timeouts and idempotency so jobs recover from worker crashes and message redelivery.
  • Deployed Docker workers on Kubernetes with OpenTelemetry, Prometheus and Grafana monitoring for throughput, latency, failures and worker health.

The system I'd want to be read first.

01 · EventForgeDISTRIBUTED SYSTEMS · JAVA · 2026

Distributed transactions, with the failure semantics made explicit.

Four Spring Boot services own separate PostgreSQL databases and coordinate through Kafka. Transactional outboxes remove the database/broker dual write, idempotent consumers absorb redelivery, a persisted saga compensates partial failure, and trace context continues across HTTP, outbox relay and asynchronous consumers.

SYSTEMS · C++2002 · 2026

ForgeKV

A persistent key-value server built below the framework line.

A versioned binary protocol feeds a bounded TCP server and sharded in-memory index backed by checksummed, append-only segments. The engine handles TTL expiry, compaction, truncated-tail recovery, corruption detection, and process-level ownership of the data directory.

  • 130 tests per Release and sanitizer configuration
  • Two parser fuzzers at 10,000 runs each
  • A focused TCP fix moved median p99 batch latency from 49.2 ms to 0.99 ms on the documented loopback benchmark

DATA · RETRIEVAL03 · 2026

TalentScope

A search and retrieval service measured under a fixed CPU budget.

Celery workers ingest and embed job postings into PostgreSQL; FastAPI combines GIN full-text search with pgvector HNSW retrieval through Reciprocal Rank Fusion. Redis coordinates queues, in-flight claims, answer caching and spend controls, while readiness gates model-backed routes until the per-process encoder is warm.

  • 171 hosted-CI tests
  • Fixed-2-CPU A/B lifted successful throughput from 20.7 to 100.1 req/s and cut p95 latency from 9,239 ms to 665 ms across ten alternating trials
  • Kubernetes and Terraform exercised locally with kind and LocalStack — not claimed as a cloud deployment

Portcullis

A resilient MCP gateway with content-bound admission enforcement.

The Go data plane handles protocol validation, legacy translation, safe retries, circuit breaking, bulkheads, backpressure, multi-tenant policy, SSE streaming, failover, metrics and tracing. Its admission gate reads content-hashed verdicts from PostgreSQL before routing; an out-of-band Python worker scans newly discovered tool descriptions, keeping a multi-second classifier off the request path.

  • Native path added p50 +0.80 ms in the documented local benchmark
  • Circuit breaker opened and recovered in 6 seconds around a real upstream stop/restart
  • An audit found the earlier scanner headline depended on near-duplicate family leakage; the split was rebuilt around held-out families and runs are now fingerprinted

FitForge

A product with concurrency-safe auth and a typed API boundary.

A React/TypeScript client builds and tracks workout plans through a FastAPI/PostgreSQL backend. Refresh-token redemption is a single conditional database update, so concurrent tabs produce exactly one winner; zod validates responses at runtime and CI checks those schemas against the backend's generated OpenAPI contract. Plan generation retrieves from a ten-document knowledge base with BM25 and vector search fused by RRF.

  • Five green CI jobs on the current commit
  • 113 backend tests including real-PostgreSQL integration and eight-thread refresh redemption
  • 25 component tests · 17 browser tests

Open to 2027 internships.

I’m interested in teams that care about system boundaries, measurable behavior, and software that survives more than the happy path — platform and cloud, backend, AI/ML, and general software engineering.
