Backend Developer Intern

Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Center, IIT-M

Debugged and resolved over 10 critical production errors across a complex 7-service Django microservices architecture, systematically tracing issues through misconfigured URLs, serializers, and view logic. Designed and integrated 6 new REST API endpoints while carefully refactoring legacy code to maintain backward compatibility with existing frontend integrations. Reverse-engineered deprecated application logic and optimized Docker networking configurations, achieving a 40% reduction in endpoint failures. Collaborated closely with the frontend development team to align API contracts with UI requirements, directly improving usability for laboratory researchers managing multi-role workflows across the neuroscience research platform.
