I’m a college student studying Artificial Intelligence and Data Science, with a strong interest in software engineering fundamentals ,backend system design and applied AI & Machine Learning.
I enjoy building small systems to understand how they work internally. I focus on correctness, clarity, and learning through iteration rather than feature count or polish.
- Backend system design with explicit state and invariants
- Modeling workflows using relational data and foreign keys
- Building APIs with Node.js and Express
- Understanding how data modeling choices affect correctness over time
- Learning AI and ML fundamentals alongside core software engineering concepts
Most of my projects are learning focused and intentionally documented to show design decisions, mistakes, and corrections.

Code Review System
A system design focused project exploring how code review workflows preserve context over time using immutable revisions, explicit state transitions, and revision scoped feedback. -
Multimodal Audit Engine A system that automatically analyzes YouTube videos against company compliance guidelines. You provide a YouTube link, and the system downloads the video, extracts everything said and written on screen, analyzes it against your compliance rules, and produces a detailed report indicating whether the video complies or lists specific violations.
Pinned repositories reflect what I’m actively exploring, not finished products.
- Languages: JavaScript,Python, C and C++, SQL
- Backend: Node.js, Express, REST APIs
- Databases: SQLite, MySQL, relational data modeling
- Frontend: React with Vite, basic UI integration
- Tools: Git, GitHub, Docker for environment specification, Linux basics
I prefer understanding fundamentals deeply before moving to abstractions.
Alongside engineering, I also work as a freelance video editor.
I enjoy storytelling, pacing, and visual clarity, which strongly influences how I think about software structure and user experience.

I participate in open source communities and learning driven programs.
- Hacktoberfest participant
Contributed to open source repositories during Hacktoberfest and learned collaborative development through issues, pull requests, and reviews.
I learn best by:
- building end to end systems
- validating assumptions through implementation
- documenting mistakes instead of hiding them
- refining mental models through iteration
I value growth, feedback, and honest self assessment.
Thanks for stopping by.
