    About Me

    Building systems that matter

    I’m a technologist and maker from India, interested in how engineering can move from ideas to real, usable impact. I enjoy working at the intersection of software, hardware, and design where a concept turns into something people can actually use.

    I’ve worked on projects ranging from autonomous drones for reforestation to AI models for early lung disease detection. Across these, my focus stays the same: understand the problem deeply, design carefully, and build solutions that are practical, scalable, and responsible.

    Right now, I’m building VibeCode, an AI-first cloud IDE, and continuing to develop and lead technical projects through hackathons, competitions, and independent research.

    OpenBuilder

    Instagram for nerds — showcase your projects visually, connect with builders

    Beautiful project profiles
    Find hackathon teammates
    Build in public

    I'm building Instagram for nerds. OpenBuilder is a platform where student developers, hackers, founders, designers, and makers can showcase their projects through beautiful visual profiles, discover what others are building, find hackathon teammates, and connect with ambitious builders around the world. Instead of letting projects disappear inside GitHub repositories, OpenBuilder turns them into shareable stories with screenshots, demos, documentation, and progress updates, creating a community where building in public is the norm and great ideas can find collaborators, recognition, and opportunities.

    Built with Purpose

    Each project represents a challenge tackled, a skill learned, and an impact made.
