Building software at the intersection of AI, Security, and Full-Stack Engineering.

I am a Computer Science student at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) specializing in Information Security. I build software systems across multi-agent orchestration, cyber threat intelligence, and multimodal dataset engineering — engineered with architectural clarity, modularity, and restraint.

CHAPTER 01 // HOW I APPROACH SOFTWARE

Craftsmanship, discipline, and understanding the system.

I view software engineering not as stringing packages together, but as constructing deterministic, reliable machinery. My background in Information Security establishes a zero-trust mindset toward every layer: from data schemas and cryptographic verification to concurrency control and memory persistence.

Outside of software, I maintain a consistent athletic and strength training discipline. The patience, progressive consistency, and technical focus required in the gym directly reinforce how I debug complex systems, write clean abstractions, and ship maintainable code.

01

Solve the real problem first

Isolate the true bottleneck or failure mode before writing code. An architectural rethink is almost always cleaner than adding defensive patches to flawed assumptions.

02

Modularity & deterministic state

Tightly coupled systems break silently. Isolate responsibilities with strict interfaces, clear data contracts, and reproducible states so components can be validated independently.

03

System fundamentals over hype

Libraries and tools evolve rapidly; foundational computer science remains constant. Deeply understand operating system primitives, database indexing, and network protocols.

04

AI as disciplined instrumentation

Language models belong inside deterministic engineering control planes — guarded by validation gates, schema enforcement, and structured retrieval — not unconstrained loops.

CHAPTER 03 // FLAGSHIP SYSTEMS

Engineering Projects

Four distinct software systems engineered from first principles to solve concrete problems across personal finance, cybersecurity, agentic workflows, and dataset generation.

SYSTEM 01 AI PERSONAL FINANCE PLATFORM

Spendly

AI-powered personal finance platform providing real-time expense tracking, automated budget allocation, predictive cash-flow forecasting, and conversational financial assistance.

THE PROBLEM

Manual logging apps feel tedious and fragmented, forcing users to input raw numbers without gaining forward-looking budgeting velocity or actionable guidance.

ENGINEERING SOLUTION

Engineered a reactive React SPA backed by Firebase Firestore real-time sync and Python FastAPI microservices. Integrated OpenRouter LLMs with custom system prompts to calculate savings velocity and provide contextual advice.

SYSTEM 02 CYBER THREAT INTELLIGENCE (CTI) PLATFORM

Sentinel AI

Cyber Threat Intelligence platform engineered to detect, correlate, and explain digital threats across raw indicators, suspicious URLs, domains, screenshots, and OSINT telemetry feeds.

THE PROBLEM

Security analysts suffer from alert fatigue and disjointed OSINT feeds, spending hours manually cross-referencing WHOIS records and reputation databases without unified context.

ENGINEERING SOLUTION

Built an asynchronous FastAPI pipeline integrating VirusTotal, WHOIS, and domain reputation feeds in parallel. Integrated an Explainable AI module that correlates indicators into structured risk scores with human-readable rationale.

SYSTEM 03 AGENTIC WORKFLOW & RAG SYSTEM

SupportFlow AI

Customer support automation platform built with LangGraph state graphs, RAG, SQLite conversational persistence, and specialized agent routing using local open-weight LLMs.

THE PROBLEM

Single-prompt chatbot solutions fail to handle non-linear multi-step tickets, hallucinate company policy, and risk exposing sensitive internal customer data to public cloud APIs.

ENGINEERING SOLUTION

Engineered a stateful agent graph with conditional routing across dedicated sub-agents (Sales, Technical, Billing, Account). Integrated local RAG retrieval with Ollama runtime execution to ensure complete data privacy.

SYSTEM 04 VIDEO-TO-TEXT & DATASET PLATFORM

Textora Engine

Video-to-Text and multimodal dataset engineering platform designed to turn raw video sources into clean, validated, reproducible, and provenance-aware AI datasets.

THE PROBLEM

Raw video transcription suffers from rolling caption flicker, non-lexical audio tags ([Music], [Applause]), language drift (Hinglish/transliterated Latin scripts), redundant Whisper compute, and missing data lineage.

ENGINEERING SOLUTION

Engineered a 4-layer platform featuring caption-first dual ingestion (Whisper fallback), deterministic n-gram de-flickering, script validation gates, xxHash/SHA-256 deduplication, SQLite WAL queues, and multimodal temporal frame alignment.
