Background

About Me

I'm a final-year Aerospace Engineering student at IIT Madras, graduating in 2026. While my degree is in aerospace, my passion has always been building software — and I've spent the last two years doing exactly that.

I've completed 4 internships across full-stack development and data science, shipping production features used by real users. I care about clean code, good architecture, and getting things shipped.

Outside of coding, I run a YouTube channel with 1.6M+ total views, and have qualified for the KVS Chess Championship twice — both things that reflect how I approach any challenge: with patience, strategy, and consistency.
