Building AI That
Ships to Production

Focused on building real-world AI systems — not just models, but deployable products.

I'm a 1st-year B.Tech CSE student at PES University specializing in AI & ML. I build and deploy production-grade AI systems, including CareerLens (40,000+ LOC, 32 services) and AgriSence (GCP-based ML platform with 400+ commits).

I'm a National-level hackathon winner with ₹2.75L+ in prizes—most notably securing a flagship victory in the Google GenAI Hackathon. I hold 35+ top-tier certifications across multi-cloud infrastructure and cybersecurity, and actively shape open-source ecosystems with merged contributions to Ubuntu, Pandas, and NumPy (GitHub Pull Shark ×2).
