Technologies
I'm a third-year B.E. student in AI & Machine Learning at SMVITM, Bantakal — building things that actually work, not just projects for grades.
I've won national hackathons including the Award of Excellence at Build for Bengaluru (organized by Google Developer Groups) and 2nd place at Hack.Algo, a blockchain hackathon by REVA University. My work spans voice-first mobile apps, AI payment gateways on Algorand, and full-stack dashboards used in production.
Outside hackathons, I lead the SMVITM Media Team, shoot photography for college events, and mentor juniors in AI/ML. I like building things people actually use.
