Building the digital future, one project at a time
Technical Arsenal ⚙️
From low-level systems programming in C++ to high-level AI orchestration with Python, I've built expertise across the full technology stack. My passion for cybersecurity has earned me top 2% ranking on TryHackMe, while my systems knowledge spans from RFID hardware design to distributed cloud architectures.
Global Impact 🌍
My projects have reached over 5,000+ users globally through Project Skilltree, while GeoMonitor provides real-time insights to analysts worldwide. From winning Mars colonization competitions to mentoring peers in algorithmic thinking, I focus on building solutions that scale beyond individual use cases.
Innovation Philosophy 🚀
I believe in solving problems at their mathematical core rather than surface symptoms. Whether it's using Bayesian statistics for probability visualization or NLP for geopolitical analysis, my approach combines rigorous theory with practical implementation to create truly intelligent systems.
I've been immersed in the world of code since I was 12 years old. After starting my journey at Carleton University in Ottawa 🇨🇦, I made the strategic decision to return to my roots in Bangalore 🇮🇳. I am now pursuing a highly specialized and intensive tech education, combining the best of industry-focused learning and rigorous academic programs to solve real-world problems.
🛠️ Featured Projects
🍌 Going Bananas
Led the development of an AI-powered browser extension that analyzes legal documents instantly, protecting users from unfair clauses and hidden risks. As team lead for the Google GenAI hackathon submission, I orchestrated the creation of a low-latency caching system and API architecture that achieves 95% risk detection rate with 18-second average analysis time.
🌎 GeoMonitor
A sophisticated real-time geopolitical news aggregator that analyzes global flashpoints using advanced AI. The system automatically translates content from multiple languages, ranks significance, and visualizes developments on interactive maps. This cross-platform solution provides crucial geopolitical insights through visual representation and intelligent analysis.
🌱 Project Skilltree
A revolutionary discord bot/app used by over 5,000+ users which aims to gamify the journey of self improvement. I was instrumental in developing significant parts of the bot interface and API, creating an engaging system that helps users track their growth and stay motivated.
🐒 Monkey Typewriter Simulation
An elegant visualization of the famous "infinite monkey theorem" using Bayesian statistics. This interactive algorithm demonstrates how long it would take a monkey randomly typing to produce specific literary works. The simulation provides insights into probability theory and randomness through an engaging visual interface.
🧠 Clevered.com Internship [View Certificate]
Successfully completed a 4-month long internship on Artificial Intelligence(AI), mentored by a senior Oxford professor. I developed a project that involved a website which predicts and forecasts sentiment and emotional response of any tweet using Natural Language Processing (NLP).
🚀 Nexus Aurora
Former project lead at Nexus Aurora, An open-source space colonization community (Winners of the 2020 Mars Society City State Competition). My work involved designing door security systems using RFIDs, facilitating discussions about sports and linguistics on Mars, and developing the community's Discord bot.
📚 Perspective AI
I co-authored this book along with a schoolmate during my grade 8. It presents a teenager's perspective on the advent of artificial intelligence, and how we predict AI will impact our lives and the future. This early work demonstrates my long-standing interest in the ethical and social implications of technology.
🔐 TryHackMe and CTFs
I have always had a deep interest in cybersecurity, and this obsession has led me to being ranked in the top 2% of hackers on tryhackme.com, a website which organizes hacking challenges. My passion for security has equipped me with a strong foundation in defensive and offensive security practices.
🎓 IIT Ropar Minor in AI/ML
Currently in my final semester of the prestigious Minor Degree from the IIT program on Artificial Intelligence. This program has equipped me with crucial knowledge in a rapidly transforming digital landscape, preparing me to navigate both the opportunities and challenges of advanced AI systems.
🚀 Scaler School of Technology
Currently attending Scaler School of Technology in Bangalore 🇮🇳 — one of India's most selective tech programs with an acceptance rate of around 3%. The curriculum focuses on building rock-solid fundamentals in computer science, algorithms, and system design, learning alongside some of the brightest minds in tech.
📊 BITS Pilani - Bachelor in Computer Science
Pursuing the 4-year Bachelor's degree program in Computer Science from BITS Pilani in parallel with my Scaler studies. This program combines strong theoretical foundations with practical applications, giving me a comprehensive understanding of computer science fundamentals and advanced software engineering principles.
