About Me

A little more about who I am, what I build, and where I'm headed.

My Story

Ever since my dad brought home a laptop, I've been hooked on gaming. From puzzles to boss fights, games were never just entertainment for me. They shaped the way I think, the way I solve problems, the way I sit with a hard thing until it cracks. I still genuinely believe gaming sharpened my thinking from a young age.

I got my PS4 in 9th grade, right when COVID hit. For a kid who loved games, it was a dream come true. I played a lot in 9th and 10th. Then 11th grade started and something flipped. I looked around and made a decision: I'm going to crack IIT.

Between my dad pushing me to aim higher and the puzzle-solving habit gaming had drilled into me, I got there. I cracked into IIT Hyderabad, and a new chapter opened up: development.

I started learning web dev in my semester break, not from any structured course, but from YouTube and a lot of stubborn trial and error. Curiosity turned into obsession pretty quickly. I joined the Lambda web dev club, shipped sites for Diesta and Cepheid, and built a full-stack cricket scoring app for our DBMS project.

Over the last year the ground moved under me. I started spending more and more time on AI and agentic systems. Building tool-calling agents, wiring up LangGraph, poking at how far LLMs can actually be trusted to drive real systems. That interest turned into an on-site AI Engineer internship at Teradata, where I built a meta-tooling agent that generates the tools the product's chatbot needs, automatically, whenever a new feature ships through CI/CD.

I still think of myself as a full-stack engineer at heart. I like being able to ship the whole thing. But the direction I'm pushing hardest in right now is AI agents. Still exploring, still building.
