About

Computer Science Engineering undergraduate at VIT-AP University with experience in building scalable backend systems, applied AI, and software engineering.

Previously, Backend Developer Intern at StudyCubs, where I developed real-time analytics pipelines and LLM-powered automation tools, delivering insights with sub-200ms latency. At AK Capital Advisors, I designed secure APIs and optimized database systems supporting large-scale financial workflows across microservices.

Currently, Co-Lead of Deep Learning & Computer Vision Team at The Machine Learning Club VIT-AP, leading technical initiatives, mentoring teams, and driving research in generative models and training optimization.
