Third-year CS undergrad at Manipal University Bengaluru (Class of 2028).
Building full-stack apps, learning system design, and competing in hackathons.
Currently figuring out backend architecture, one project at a time.
I'm a third-year CS undergrad who builds things end-to-end — backend APIs, full-stack web apps, and the occasional distributed system when a hackathon calls for it. I care about writing clean, maintainable code and understanding how systems actually work under load, not just making them run once.
Outside coursework, I've shipped real projects used by real people, competed in national hackathons across healthtech, fintech, and cybersecurity verticals, and co-authored research on LLMs and network security.
Still learning a lot. Building more than I'm reading about it.
Competed in 10+ hackathons — consistently delivering production-ready prototypes under 24–48 hour constraints across cybersecurity, healthtech, fintech, and edtech verticals.
