Curiosity-driven engineer exploring systems from first principles.
01 — about

An engineer who ships in production.

Final-year Electrical & Electronics Engineering student and self-taught programmer. I build software from zero-to-one — production ML pipelines, compiler infrastructure, and the distributed systems in between.

My work bridges bare-metal inference and responsive UI. Custom ASR systems, voice-first clinical AI, and privacy-by-design infrastructure.

02 — areas
  • Production ASR & ML

    Custom ASR architectures (Conformer, RNN-T, CTC), Whisper fine-tuning with QLoRA, speaker diarization, and on-premise inference via Ollama with structured clinical outputs.

  • Systems & Infrastructure

    Privacy-by-design backends for AI companions — GDPR (Art. 9, 22), India DPDP Act, CCPA/CPRA. Argon2id encryption, AWS & GCP, and Go services.

  • Compilers & Open Source

    Active LLVM contributor. Authored PhraseNuX, a C++ CLI password manager with AES encryption. Research on cross-lingual reasoning compression in multilingual LLMs.

  • Creative Technologies

    Unreal Engine 5 cinematics and DaVinci Resolve pipelines — fusing technical rigor with high-end visual work.

05 — selected work

Things I've shipped in the wild.

A few things I've built, researched, or shipped. All live, all in production or open source.

Full Stack

MoviesLikeThis

Movie discovery by feeling, not labels. The recommender keeps offering you more sci-fi, more action; this archive matches films by what they do to you — the ache, the wonder, the quiet — so the next film makes you feel the way the last one did.

Research

EfficientXLang

Original research assessing cross-lingual reasoning in multilingual LLMs. A study on whether reasoning compresses across languages — and where it doesn't.

Medclara

Voice-first, multilingual clinical documentation. Doctor-patient conversations → structured SOAP notes via custom ASR and local LLMs.

Open Source

PhraseNuX

C++ CLI password manager with AES encryption. Zero dependencies, audited crypto, built to teach myself systems-level C++ the hard way.

In production

The film that makes you feel the way the last one did — not just another one “like” it. Built so that a few ratings find the rest of your life's library.
