First-year B.Tech EEE student at Christ University (GPA 3.77/4.0) with hands-on experience in embedded systems, full-stack web development, and R&D. Focused on VLSI design, hardware prototyping, and building technical products. Experienced in developing and shipping projects during hackathons, and currently advancing skills in VLSI through an industry training program.

B.Tech – Electrical & Electronics Engineering Christ University · Bengaluru (June 2025 – Present) ▸ GPA: 3.77 / 4.0 (after Year 1)
▸ Relevant coursework: VLSI Design, Circuit Theory, Embedded Systems, Engineering Mathematics
▸ Currently pursuing a VLSI Design Internship-cum-Course (ongoing, 2025)

R&D Intern Krytil (Start-up) · Bengaluru (2025 · 4 months) ▸ Led data collection, curation, and classification for a fresher-focused job portal, improving dataset quality and categorisation accuracy.
▸ Collaborated on client project scoping — contributed ideas for feature design, user flows, and technical requirements across multiple product verticals.
▸ Operated in an early-stage start-up environment, gaining exposure to product development cycles and cross-functional teamwork.

VLSI Design Intern (Training Programme) Industry Partner (ongoing) · Bengaluru (2026 – Present) ▸ Attending a structured VLSI design internship-cum-course covering digital design fundamentals, HDL, and chip design workflows.

Ember – Emotional Journaling Platform (Personal Project · Solo Build) 2025 – 2026 ▸ Designed and built a mood-based journaling web app where users log thoughts as 'stars', each colour-coded by sentiment (positive to negative) using a tuned system prompt pipeline.
▸ Implemented a drag-to-void interaction allowing users to discard unwanted thoughts, and a monthly mood-board view for reflection.
▸ Integrated a therapeutic AI chatbot with dual modes — Listen mode (empathetic, non-advisory) and Advice mode — powered by a carefully tuned system prompt via the Claude API.
▸ Designed a companion physical mood lamp using an 8×8 RGB LED matrix, ESP32-C3 SuperMini, boost converter, and a Li-ion battery cell — lamp colour reflects the user's current mood state in real time.
▸ Tech stack: Web platform (HTML/CSS/JS, Python backend), Hardware (ESP32-C3, RGB LED matrix, boost converter, 18650 battery).

Autonomous Obstacle-Avoiding Rover (Team Project - Hardware Lead) 2025 ▸ Built a 2WD autonomous rover capable of real-time obstacle detection and navigation without human input.
▸ Integrated a Raspberry Pi 3B+ for onboard compute, Pi Camera for visual input, and ultrasonic sensors for proximity-based collision avoidance.
▸ Designed the power architecture using a dual-source setup: 2-cell 18650 Li-ion battery pack for the chassis and a portable power bank for the Raspberry Pi.
▸ Implemented navigation logic in Python on the Raspberry Pi, enabling the rover to dynamically re-route on detecting obstacles.
▸ Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+, Pi Camera, HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor, L298N Motor Driver, 2WD chassis, 18650 battery pack.

NASA Space Apps Challenge (24-hour Hackathon) Team Project · 2025 ▸ Built an interactive educational game visualising NASA's daily land data collection — surfacing metrics like plant height, soil composition, and water levels through an engaging game loop.
▸ Designed to make satellite and sensor data accessible and intuitive to non-technical audiences.

Dropzone Derby (Hack Club 24-hour Hackathon) Team Project · 2026 ▸ Developed a multiplayer drifting and spleef game set in underground environments; players compete to knock opponents into pits.
▸ Placed in the Top 20 out of all participating teams.

Yeet My Child (Hack Club 12-hour Hackathon) Team Project · 2025 ▸ Built a physics-based ragdoll game featuring comedic sacrifice mechanics — designed, coded, and shipped within 12 hours.
