About
Welcome to my portfolio! I am an accomplished individual with diverse experiences and a deep passion for innovation, research, and community engagement. Having participated in the Intel Hackathon 2022, Google Solutions Challenge 2024, and Google Cloud Hackathon 2025, I have demonstrated my ability to excel in competitive environments and deliver impactful, real-world solutions. My dedication to research is reflected in my four Scopus- and Google Scholar-indexed research papers, comprising two journal and two conference papers, including all four presented at International Conferences and published in International Journals. These achievements highlight my pursuit of academic and technical excellence. As a committed member of the Google Developer Student Club (GDSC) and participant in the IIT Madras Incubation Park Club, I actively promote technological innovation and entrepreneurship. My leadership experience as Class Representative and Student Head Coordinator of the Journalism Club has strengthened my coordination, communication, and management skills. I have gained valuable hands-on experience through multiple internships: Cisco Virtual Internship as a Networking Engineer, where I assisted in network design and troubleshooting; Junior HR Intern at Extion Infotech, recognized as Top Performer with a Letter of Recommendation and Letter of Appreciation; AI Engineer Intern at Extion Infotech, again honored as Top Performer for excellence in AI projects; and Prompt Engineering Intern at Sky High Technologies, where I achieved the highest A Grade for creativity and innovation in AI prompt design. Beyond academics and professional roles, I am an active member of the Karunya Brass Band and National Cadet Corps (NCC), proudly representing my institution during Republic Day and Independence Day parades. I also contribute to K-Hacks (Karunya Hacks) and the Association of Intelligent Machine Learning Solutions (AIMS) as Joint Multimedia Coordinator and Value Orientation Coordinator, managing multimedia, design, and event coordination. Moreover, as a NASA Citizen Scientist, I discovered a unique asteroid that passed near Earth, earning the NASA New Discovery Certificate and Citizen Scientist Certificate a testament to my curiosity and passion for exploration. Guided by creativity, leadership, and a drive to make a positive impact through technology, research, and collaboration, I look forward to connecting with innovators, researchers, and changemakers who share my vision for a smarter and more sustainable future.
