About Me

I'm a third-year Computer Science undergraduate passionate about Explainable AI, Embedded Machine Learning, and Cognitive Learning Systems. I love building intelligent systems backed by clear interpretability and thoughtful design, bringing together software, hardware, and human-centered thinking.

Experience

Research Intern — DRDO (DYSL-CT)

Worked on Explainable AI techniques including LIME, SHAP, and CAM, developing deep-learning model interpretation tools for security and defence use cases. Built CAM visualization pipelines for CNNs and contributed to a multilingual text-classification system (English + Indian languages).

Software Intern — TIFR (HBCSE)

Contributing to a research-backed educational cognition system for understanding how children form mathematical concepts. Designed interactive tools that visualize slopes, derivatives, and geometric intuition, and built the web-serving backend for real experiments used by researchers.

Projects

PeliCAM

Explainability toolkit supporting CAM, LIME, and SHAP for deep learning models.

Moon Mapping (ISRO)

XRF spectrum analysis to generate lunar albedo maps for planetary research.

Slope Motion System

Interactive cognitive learning system for building intuition around slopes and derivatives.

Formal Verification & Tool Chain

Custom 16-bit ISA with CPU simulator,Assembler and formal correctness proofs in Coq.

ESP-ML Library

Real-time ML inference on ESP32 microcontrollers through Rest APIs.

Rate Limiters

Redis + Lua based implementation of production-grade rate limiting algorithms with CI benchmarking and traffic analysis.

Rocketry Avionics System

Real-time ESP32-based avionics for flight telemetry logging, using FreeRTOS.

Stellar ML

Classification celestial objects (Stars, Galaxies, and Quasars) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR17 dataset.
