Profile

Second-year Computer Science student exploring robotics, perception, local AI, and useful software. Technical lead for guidance, navigation, control, and communication simulation in Team SUTRA. I combine first-principles learning with AI-assisted development, documentation, and testing.

Skills & development approach

Hands-on foundation: Python, SQL, Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Git, Linux, Docker, Google Cloud.
AI-augmented development: MCP servers, custom agent skills, tool connectors, AI pair programming, multi-agent workflows, local model tooling.
Frameworks used with AI assistance: React / Next.js, Flutter / Dart, PyTorch, YOLO, SAHI, ONNX, LiteRT, FastAPI.
Current independent practice: Python algorithms, linear algebra, manual backpropagation, runtime debugging, agent tool contracts.
