Hi, I'm Sumit

a Software Engineer

I design systems that scale, write code that speaks, and solve problems that matter.

About Me

Hey there 👋 I’m Sumit Chauhan, a Computer Science undergrad at NIT Jalandhar (Batch of 2026) and a passionate software engineer + competitive programmer who loves solving real-world problems with clean, scalable code.

I’ve built projects like HerbiGPT, an AI-powered Ayurveda chatbot using LangChain, and CyberFlux, a distributed network intrusion detection system. I also contribute to open-source — most recently to Google’s Gemini CLI, improving authentication reliability for GCP users.

Beyond the keyboard, I'm an avid chess player and enjoy the collaborative strategy of cricket. These pursuits sharpen my analytical thinking and teamwork skills, which I apply to my technical work. I'm always exploring backend systems, distributed design, and GenAI pipelines, aiming to build products that are both technically deep and practically useful.
