Who I Am

The Engineer

I'm a Computer Science (AI & ML) student at Chennai Institute of Technology, building systems at the intersection of backend engineering, cloud infrastructure, and applied AI. I care about clean architecture, reliability, and writing software that holds up under real conditions — not just in demos.

I'm drawn to problems that require both systems-level thinking and product sense: a Go backend managing concurrent WebSocket streams, a multi-agent LLM pipeline, or an ML-integrated IoT data system.

What Drives Me

I got into engineering because I wanted to build things that actually work. I've competed in hackathons (and won a few), contributed upstream to an AWS open-source TLS library, and explored research applying AI to financial market prediction.

I'm genuinely curious about how large-scale systems are designed, how AI agents can be integrated into real developer workflows, and what it takes to ship software that scales. Not as a buzzword exercise — as working, useful products.

Actively seeking software engineering, backend, cloud, and AI engineering internships.
