Software engineer. I build concurrent systems, backend services, and production AI/ML.

•Systems, open source, and applied AI/ML are what pull me in.
•Shipped thread-safe MQTT networking into an Android app with 1M+ installs at GSoC 2026, and ML-driven Wi-Fi RTT localization at Samsung that cut ranging error by 31%.
•Currently an SDE Intern at GoCredit AI, and building VentureIQ, CampusSync and Unslop on the side.

Term

•Shipped the MQTT networking layer for Pocket Code, an open-source Android app with 1M+ Google Play installs, adding blocks for multiplayer games and IoT / Home Assistant integrations
•Built a thread-safe MQTT message pipeline that decouples the network thread from the render thread via bounded queues, eliminating data races and UI freezes traced to Paho's unbounded broker wait
•Designed the layer for broker- and emulator-independent testing with interfaces, factories and Koin dependency injection
•Wrote 252 tests that uncovered 2 production crashes the prior suite missed
•Worked inside a long-running open-source codebase with community review, contributing 14 merged pull requests across 8 external repositories alongside the core project

•Built an AI agent that processed bank DLR logs and ranked data products across 15 business domains, cutting manual discovery time by 95% and auto-generating go-to-market summaries
•Owned the Context Inference Engine for DORA, a multi-agent data platform, implementing 2-hop lineage-graph traversal and Leiden community detection
•Kept GPT-4o labelling behind grounding validation and deterministic fallbacks so the platform never surfaced an ungrounded answer
•Benchmarked Small Language Models under Federated Learning across Customer and Credit Risk domains, holding accuracy within 3-4% of centralized training with data kept inside domain boundaries

•Built a Kotlin Android data-collection system for Samsung PRISM using Jetpack Compose, Wi-Fi Aware and IEEE 802.11mc on a publish-subscribe architecture, collecting 600+ labelled measurements
•Built a Wi-Fi RTT indoor-localization simulator in Kotlin with embedded Python via Chaquopy and a FastAPI backend, modelling multipath and interference to predict device and access-point position
•Benchmarked 11 regression models across the collected dataset
•Shipped a two-stage ExtraTrees + GradientBoosting pipeline reaching MAE 0.443 m with 87% of predictions within 1 m, a 31% error reduction over the best baseline

•Built the real-time voice pipeline behind Re-Voice: Twilio media streams into Silero voice-activity detection, Sarvam speech-to-text, a streaming OpenAI LLM and Sarvam text-to-speech over WebSockets
•Implemented barge-in handling so the agent stops mid-sentence the moment a caller interrupts, cancelling already-queued speech instead of talking over them
•Shipped the platform as a Docker Compose deployment across application, AI and observability tiers, instrumented with Prometheus, Loki, Tempo, OpenTelemetry and Grafana, running the voice module across 4 workers

Opportunities are everywhere - a hackathon here, a course there, an internship opening. Working out which one makes sense for you right now is the hard part.

CampusQuest

Time Machine - click a skill you do not have yet and watch your role alignment change, along with the jobs that just opened up.
Gap-based people matching - if you already do frontend you do not need another frontend dev, so we matched on what is missing rather than what is the same.
Ask Genie - Databricks' chatbot over our campus data: ask in plain English, get the answer plus the SQL behind it.

If a number shows up in the app, an LLM did not make it. Genie writes the explanation, never the number.
