About Me

Software engineer shipping production full-stack and AI-integrated systems, from immigration and hiring platforms to cybersecurity products.

Bismit Panda

I build and ship production web applications end to end, mostly in Next.js and TypeScript, often with LLM and RAG integrations. As sole developer at OpenVenture (formerly Greencard Inc.), I've delivered 10+ live products across immigration, hiring, admissions, and investment.

As Co-Founder and CTO at AstraQ Cyber Defence, I architect security training and platform products including Athena CTF, Athena LMS, Phoebe, and Metis. I also write Rust and Go when performance matters.

I graduated with a B.Tech in Computer Science and Engineering (Cybersecurity) from Rashtriya Raksha University and share what I learn through blog posts and snippets on this site.
