Systems.
Hello, I'm Pulkit Barala. I design and engineer clean frontend systems, robust backends, and practical data science workflows to create high-performance digital experiences.
Available for full-time software engineering roles & selected freelance contracts.
About Me
After graduating with a degree in Computer Science, I decided to pursue my passion for programming. I enrolled in a coding bootcamp and learned full-stack web development. My favorite part of programming is the problem-solving aspect. I love the feeling of finally figuring out a solution to a bug. My core stack is React, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. I am also familiar with TypeScript, Prisma, and practical data science and machine learning workflows. I am always looking to learn new technologies. I am currently looking for a full-time position as a software developer.
Beyond building interfaces, I like working through the full product picture: shaping clearer user flows, tightening performance, and thinking about how a feature will scale in production. I enjoy projects where clean front-end systems, practical APIs, and data science workflows all work together to create a better experience.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy playing video games, watching movies, and playing with my dog. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning about history and philosophy. I'm also learning how to play the guitar.

Projects
A catalog of deployed web products, security tools, and automation experiments.
Secure Share
Problem: Traditional file sharing exposes sensitive data to third-party servers. Solution: Secure Share implements client-side end-to-end AES-GCM encryption, secure user authentication, and self-destructing links. Impact: Secured over 10,000+ file transfers with zero server-side data leaks.
Deepfake detection
Problem: Rise of sophisticated AI-generated media makes validating visual proof extremely difficult. Solution: Developed a deep learning pipeline using ResNet and LSTM models deployed via Hugging Face Spaces to detect subtle facial inconsistencies. Impact: Reached 96.8% detection accuracy on standard test datasets.
