#About Me

I'm a 4th-year Computer Science & Data-Science engineering student who builds fun, occasionally useful tools for friends, family, and anyone curious enough to ask. These days I build the whole thing myself: infrastructure, backend and frontend.

I work across Python, FastAPI, React, Docker, and Kubernetes, with a growing interest in RAG pipelines and vector search. I'm currently VP of The Sceptix Club at St. Joseph Engineering College, Mangaluru. And honestly, I'd still rather be debugging at 2 AM than asleep.
