// CORE PHILOSOPHY“Most of my learning has come from directly building: creating AI prototypes, designing backend APIs, and analyzing edge cases during hackathons.”

I'm a second year Artificial Intelligence & Data Science student at Rizvi College of Engineering in Mumbai. Rather than relying solely on coursework, I pursue engineering by actively constructing real systems.

My work spans across backend engineering, reinforcement learning simulations, full stack web development, and cybersecurity intelligence. I find the most satisfaction in dissecting how software behaves under the hood—optimizing request lifecycles, understanding network graphs, and hardening API security.

Whether leading hackathon teams through rapid architectural decisions or solving algorithmic challenges across graph and dynamic programming patterns, my goal is to develop deep technical intuition and engineer reliable, production ready software.

Practical Execution

FastAPI backends, Supabase & Redis integrations, and multi client delivery across web and mobile.

Research & Prototypes

Custom Gymnasium RL environments with PPO and PyTorch Geometric GCN node embeddings.

// CONTINUOUS LEARNING

Currently Exploring & Deepening

Backend Engineering

Improving my understanding of backend architecture, APIs and production oriented development.

System Design

Learning how larger software systems are structured and how their components communicate.

Distributed Systems

Exploring the fundamentals of distributed applications and scalable system design.

Data Structures & Algorithms

Continuing structured problem solving practice through coding problems and interview preparation.

Machine Learning

Deepening my practical understanding through projects and experimentation.

02// SELECTED WORK

Leadership Approach & Technical Execution

Led problem discussions, brainstorming and technical decision review across the teams. I often challenged proposed solutions, looked for loopholes and edge cases, and helped the team think through how we could counter them. I also contributed to implementation and spent significant time preparing the final project presentation. In two of the hackathons, I was one of the primary builders alongside another teammate.

2nd PlaceCOMPETITIVE SPRINT
