About Me

Hi, I’m Srinjay 👋
I’m a freelance & hobby developer who enjoys building tools just to see if I can, and an early-career researcher who likes turning experiments into papers every once in a while.

This blog is my public notebook — a place where I document what I’m learning, building, breaking, and occasionally publishing.

How I See Myself

I don’t really fit into one clean label, so I usually describe myself as:

• A builder by curiosity
• A researcher by interest
• And a learner by default

Some days I’m deep into backend systems and scalability.
Other days I’m tweaking ML models, debugging experiments at 2 AM, or formatting papers for conference submissions.

I enjoy that tension between shipping products and asking research questions.

Development Side

On the development side, I mostly work with:

• Spring Boot & backend systems
• Redis, rate limiting, and distributed components
• Next.js, Tailwind, and modern frontend tooling
• Code execution & evaluation systems

One of my major learning projects has been building an online code evaluation platform end-to-end — from system design to execution pipelines, performance bottlenecks, and scaling strategies.

I build most things:

• As personal experiments
• To learn by doing
• Sometimes for freelance work
• Sometimes just because an idea refuses to leave my head

Research Side

On the research front, my interests lie mainly in:

• Machine Learning
• NLP & misinformation detection
• Hybrid modeling approaches
• Evaluation, robustness, and real-world performance

I currently have:

• ✅ One paper published in conference proceedings
• 📝 One paper under submission

Research, for me, is less about titles and more about:

• Asking the right questions
• Failing fast
• And slowly learning how to design better experiments

Why This Blog Exists

This isn’t a polished tutorial factory.
This is a learning log in public.

Here you’ll find:

• Dev logs from projects I’m building
• Architecture breakdowns
• ML experiment notes
• Research paper simplifications
• Honest reflections on what worked and what didn’t

Some posts will be technical.
Some will be reflective.
All of them will be real.

What I’m Trying to Build Long-Term

I’m slowly trying to grow into someone who can:

• Build useful, scalable systems
• Do meaningful applied research
• And eventually work at the intersection of engineering, ML, and product

No rush. No shortcuts. Just consistent learning.

If You’re Reading This

If you’re:

• A student
• A developer
• A researcher
• Or just someone who likes to tinker and learn

You’re welcome here 🙂

And if you ever want to collaborate, discuss an idea, or just talk tech — you’ll probably find my contact details somewhere on the main site.
