I am a passionate developer and Artificial Intelligence undergraduate at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Gandhinagar.
I love making useful software and building scalable backends. I have worked on several projects in full-stack development, database systems, and machine learning.
- National Runner-Up at upGrad CodeEd AI Hackathon: Secured nationwide second place (Mumbai, 2025), presenting ElevateEd AI to a panel of industry leaders.
- Second Prize at SocioHack: Won second place at the IIT Gandhinagar SocioHack hackathon for designing an interactive WebGL building navigation canvas.
- FOSS Overflow Backend Contributor: Contributed to the Django backend for Leaderboard-Pro, a competitive programming statistics aggregator.
- Hacktoberfest Contributor: Successfully completed the challenge with 6 merged pull requests (2024).
- Microservices Architecture: Architected and containerized the Grading Management System (GMS), a 6-service platform deploying FastAPI, React, MySQL, RabbitMQ, and Kubernetes configurations. See GMS Project Page.
- Graph Machine Learning: Engineered DecompGTI, a graph tool-routing framework fine-tuned on Qwen2.5-7B using LoRA SFT and deployed as a local FastMCP server, achieving 100% tool routing accuracy. See DecompGTI Project Page.
- Database Systems: Developed ChiralDB, an autonomous PostgreSQL SQL/JSONB database engine featuring statistical heuristics and lock-free datatype drift migrations. See ChiralDB Project Page.
- Educational AI Tools: Co-developed ElevateEd AI, a multimodal study kit generator utilizing Gemini models, securing the nationwide Runner-Up prize at the upGrad CodeEd AI Hackathon. See ElevateEd AI Project Page.
- Event Infrastructure: Directed digital platforms as Tech Coordinator for TEDxIITGandhinagar, building secure Razorpay payment webhooks and a real-time web app for location QR-checkpoint scanning. See TEDxIITGandhinagar Project Page.
