## About

I’m a Computer Engineering student at Fr\. CRCE, Mumbai \(Batch of 2026\), with a strong passion for building impactful, scalable tech products\. My journey spans across AI, full\-stack development, blockchain, generative AI, and data engineering\. I’ve worked as: • Data Engineering Intern at Jio Platforms – learning big data tools like Hive, Spark, and MapReduce, and contributing to CI/CD pipelines\. • AI Engineer at SimpleSurface – building an AI\-powered RAG with a custom interactive frontend\. • Technical Lead Intern at Modern Hub Solutions – led a 14\-member team to build an AI\-powered homeopathy platform\. I’ve authored a Scopus\-indexed research paper, hold a published utility patent on a smart kitchen inventory system, and have led winning teams at national hackathons \(MIT Chennai, Neural Nexus, Google AI for Impact APAC\)\. Former Vice Chairperson and Co\-Lead at GDSC CRCE, where I organized India’s only international hackathon and taught 200\+ students through bootcamps on web, AI, and cloud\. I enjoy building real\-world systems that are both technically sound and actually useful to people\. Whether it’s tech, team, or product vision, I enjoy being part of the whole process\.
