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.
