Engineer · Developer · Builder
I'm a pre-final year undergrad from VIT Chennai who enjoys building things — whether it's something dumb, something useful, or something I just wanted to see work.
What excites me most about tech is how you can start with just an idea and bring it to life using nothing but logic, math, and a bit of curiosity. I'm especially fascinated by machine learning — how deep learning lets machines learn patterns, make decisions, and in a way, "think" using layers of math.
Over the years, I've built up experience across full-stack development and machine learning — working with tools like TypeScript, Next.js, Python, Flask, and libraries like TensorFlow and OpenCV. I've even explored blockchain and zero-knowledge cryptography for some of my more experimental builds.
Outside of classes, I spend most of my time at hackathons, exploring new frameworks, or working with my college tech communities.
