## About

I like building things that probably shouldn't be possible in the time I give myself\. I'm an AI and Software Engineer working across AI systems, backend infrastructure, real\-time systems, and mobile\. I've built agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, multimodal AI products, native iOS and Android apps, and systems serving products with \~100K monthly active users\. Most of my engineering journey has been driven by curiosity\. I didn't touch a real computer until I was 16\. When I got my first laptop, the first thing I searched was "how to make Jarvis\." I built a tiny Python voice assistant, it worked, and honestly, the euphoria of making a computer do something that existed in my head never really went away\. Since then, I've built and shipped products across TypeScript, Python, Kotlin, Swift, Flutter, Node\.js, Redis, PostgreSQL, AWS, and GCP\. A few things I'm proud of: • Global Best M\-Gov Award Winner at the World Governments Summit, Dubai • Global Top 3, Google Solution Challenge • Atlassian Codegeist 2025 Runner\-Up and \#1 in India • Presented at Google I/O Connect • Google for Startups AI Academy India • NSRCEL, IIM Bangalore Campus Founders Cohort I built SpoonShare, a platform that has helped distribute 1,000\+ kg of surplus food, and Calex, an AI wellness companion I designed, built, and shipped to the Play Store solo in 14 days\. I learn fast, obsess over hard problems, and love turning ideas into products people can actually use\. Currently interested in AI agents, real\-time systems, AI infrastructure, and ambitious early\-stage teams\. Always building something\.
