About

I'm a 3rd year B.Tech Student who enjoys taking an idea from a sketch on graph paper to something that actually runs. Most of my work is focused on embedded systems, web, and tooling that makes other engineers faster.

Right now I'm focused on DevOps and Infra. Outside of work I love playing games and munch on a lot of cheesy snacks.

Experience

  1. Research Intern

    Jun – Jul 2026

    PES Innovation Lab (Akamai-funded)

    Grimoire – LLM-based Knowledge Wiki

    • Turns Jira, Confluence, PDFs and markdown into an interlinked knowledge base, with automated Atlassian ingestion.
    • Summarizes large documents, reads their images, and answers questions through a chatbot.

    AgentSecureBench – Agent Security Testing Framework

    • Python framework for testing LLM agents against memory poisoning, with swappable LLM adapters and full observability.
    • Ran a 200-case benchmark across 5 local LLMs (7%–93% attack success), plus prompt-injection tests.

  2. Club Head

    The Alcoding Club

    • Hosted club events: CTFs, hackathons, and competitive programming events.
    • Attended multiple hackathons, CTFs, and competitive programming challenges.

  3. IEEE RAS Member

    Remote Robotics Lab – Center for Robotics, Automation and Intelligent Systems (cRAIS)

    • Contributed to a remote robotics initiative at cRAIS by building a line-follower bot and a custom web dashboard, enabling users to write, upload, and run code on the physical bot without direct lab access.

Cabo title screen: the CABO logo over a desert sunset, with the tagline “The lowest hand wins, partner.” and a Play Now button

Cabo

Real-time multiplayer CABO. Start a room, share the link and play with friends in the browser.

Stack

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Node.js
  • Socket.IO
  • Supabase Postgres
  • Docker

Highlights

  • Live games for 2 to 8 players, with every special card power and snap

The car simulator rig: a steering wheel on its column mounted to an aluminium frame, with the pedal assembly and Arduino wiring behind it

Car Simulator

A home-built driving rig with a real steering wheel and pedals. An Arduino reads every control and a Python script turns it into a virtual game controller.

Stack

  • Arduino UNO
  • C++
  • Python
  • ViGEmBus

Highlights

  • Seven controls: accelerator, brake, clutch, steering, gear up, gear down and handbrake
  • Rotary encoder reads the steering; potentiometers give variable accelerator and brake
  • Arduino streams every reading to Python over serial
  • Games see it as a regular controller through a virtual gamepad
