Open to software engineering roles

Sarbananda Taw

Software Engineer

I build software — and I understand the systems, networks, and infrastructure it runs on, top to bottom.

Identity

The short version

I’m a software engineer who likes understanding the whole stack — just as comfortable in application code as in a Linux shell, a Cisco config, or a deploy pipeline.

I gravitate to problems where seeing how the pieces fit together is the advantage. Currently completing an MCA and building browser-based scientific tooling.

Based in Noida, India.

Featured work

Software I've built

Selected projects, as engineering case studies — the problem, the approach, and what came out.

Browser-only gamma-ray spectroscopy

Nuclid

  • TypeScript
  • Vite
  • Vitest
  • Canvas
2026Live

Problem

Spectroscopy tools are desktop-bound and ship sensitive detector data to a server to analyze it.

Approach

A browser-only pipeline of pure, element-agnostic stage functions — load, condition, detect, fit, calibrate, identify, quantify, report — each independently testable, with data that never leaves the machine.

Result

A traceable analysis where every number ties back to its inputs; fail-loud stages throw instead of fabricating results. Live and in active development.

Interactive cryptography, from math to UI

CryptoDemos

  • Python
  • Streamlit
  • Cryptography

Problem

Symmetric encryption is hard to learn because the transformations are invisible on paper.

Approach

An interactive Python + Streamlit app that runs AES, Vernam, and Feistel hybrid encryption step by step, wiring the cipher logic directly into a live front end.

Result

A hands-on teaching tool, deployed live — and the companion to my peer-reviewed SSRN paper on symmetric encryption algorithms.

Experience

Professional experience

Where I learned to run real systems — framed by the engineering skills it built.

IT Operations & Admin Intern · Project X (Startup)

Dec 2023 — Jul 2024

Jaipur, India

Handled the day-to-day infrastructure and operations that kept a startup team moving — the systems, accounts, automation, and reliability work behind engineering.

  • Linux
  • Automation
  • Infrastructure
  • Reliability
  • Networking
  • Deployment
  • Automation & tooling — built internal tools and SOPs that removed repetitive operational work.
  • Systems & reliability — provisioned and hardened workstations and configurations for the team.
  • Infrastructure & access — administered Google Workspace, cutting cost and improving data security.
  • Support & delivery — handled connectivity and IT support, documented workflows (Notion, Miro), and ran delivery through ClickUp.

Breadth

Beyond software

Hardware and research projects that sharpen how I build software.

Smart Respiratory Health Monitor

2025

India–Israel Hackathon 2025 finalist: an IoT + cloud + ML health-monitoring prototype. I led technical documentation and the UX workflow, and supported prototype assembly.

  • IoT
  • Cloud
  • ML

Parkwise — Smart Parking

2025

A low-cost, IoT-based smart-parking proof of concept. I owned hardware design — sensor integration and precise wiring — showing cheap hardware can solve a real problem.

  • Hardware
  • Sensors
