About

I'm Pranav S Chakrapani, a 2nd-year B.Tech CSE (Cybersecurity) student at GM University, Davangere. My work lives at the intersection of security, intelligence, and hardware — from flashing ESP32 firmware and building IoT threat detection systems to deploying full-stack AI platforms that understand Hinglish financial conversations. What drives me is a simple belief: the best defense starts with understanding the offense. That mindset shows up across everything I build — whether it's a privacy-aware entity resolution engine for campus security, an AI-powered smoke detection dashboard, or a multilingual financial intelligence app built for the Indian market. My stack spans Python, TypeScript, React, FastAPI, C++, Kali Linux, Wireshark, Raspberry Pi, and LLM APIs (Groq, LLaMA, Whisper) — but tools are secondary. I care more about the problem being solved. I've competed at national and international hackathons, shipping production-ready solutions under pressure. Each one has sharpened my ability to move fast, think in systems, and build things that actually work in the real world. Currently exploring: ethical hacking, embedded systems security, multilingual AI, and AI-driven financial intelligence
