About

Academic Excellence with 9.4 CGPA

Consistently maintaining strong academic performance while balancing projects, internships, and technical exploration.

Project Driven Learning

I learn by building. From cloud gaming platforms to autonomous vehicle simulations, every project starts with curiosity and ends with practical experience.

Leadership & Community

Actively involved in technical communities, collaborating with peers, sharing knowledge, and contributing to team-driven initiatives.

Hackathons & Innovation

Participated in programs and competitions including Smart India Hackathon (SIH) and Google's Devshouse, collaborating with teams to solve real-world challenges.

An engineer
and a paper folder.

I treat code the way a paper artist treats a square sheet, every fold deliberate, every crease earning its place. I love the craft of turning gnarly problems into calm, elegant systems people enjoy using.

I am the Lead of Web Dev Department of IEEE RAS , and Game Dev Department of OSPC. Worked on the production level Projects of my university and my clubs. Organized and conducted workshops and Competitions on Web and Game development. And A passionated Gamer and An Artist.

Outside of shipping, I Participated in many Hackathons. I contribute to open source, write about systems, and prototype tiny games on weekends.
