One half of my brain
enrolls me into things.
The other half executes.
I'm a third-year ECE student at PES University with a CS minor. I run three of the university's biggest clubs at the same time. I get paid to judge national-level debates. I'm building aerial drones, protein fitness predictors, swarm robots, and gesture-controlled prosthetics. I teach a course that reaches every sophomore.
I keep signing up for things before I know how to do them. It's worked out so far.

Quantum Transport & Logic
sEMG Gesture Classification
Bengaluru Geospatial ML
Arduino Gesture Games
ROS 2 Internship
A diagnostic study of positional memorization in supervised protein fitness predictors, with a validated remedy replicated across two unrelated proteins. Built with PyTorch, HuggingFace's ESM-2 650M foundation model, and BioPython. Private; under review for publication.
B.Tech Capstone. Team Lead. Designing and simulating a system where two drones dock mid-air to transfer payloads. Parallel geometry is used rather than vertical to avoid the 20% failure rate from rotor downwash interference.
A compliance evidence engine that parses security policies, links evidence to each requirement, tracks freshness, and reports one honest number — the Omniscience Index (0–100). Built solo for the Société Générale iHACK hackathon. Runs fully offline, no API key required.
A leak-free classical-ML pipeline classifying hand gestures from forearm surface-EMG for prosthetic control. NinaPro DB2 — 10 subjects, 6 gesture classes, 58,006 windows. Ships an interactive demo that runs on a fresh clone without the dataset.
A proof-of-concept civic-tech system built at Synapse Hackathon. A weather ML predictor for Bengaluru is overlaid with geospatial lakebed dataset to identify flood-risk zones. Users input their location and receive a real-time flood risk evaluation during heavy rainfall.
Two classic games (Pong + Snake) on a single Arduino UNO R4 hardware setup, controlled entirely by hand gestures via ultrasonic sensors. The Arduino itself hosts a live HTML scoreboard. the microcontroller IS the web server.
Summer internship at IEEE RAS, Bengaluru. Built a multi-robot simulation in ROS 2 and Gazebo featuring a master bot with magnetic follower bins, coordinating multiple TurtleBot3s via LiDAR navigation for autonomous waste collection.
A semester-long research project on time-domain chiral current in a PT-symmetric triple quantum dot ring. Four deliverables: literature survey, numerical reproduction, analytical synthesis, and a solo End Semester Assessment with 12 computational tasks. I built independent verification suites that caught a real sign-convention bug in the reference work.
What I've worked on.
Professional experience I built during a B.Tech. Not after it.
EIE-2 is a mandatory entrepreneurship course covering every second-year student at PES University. All departments, all branches, thousands of students.
- CIE Ignite (Phase 2): managed 105 competing teams (509 students) single-handedly, individual follow-ups, scheduling, mentor assignments, finalist coordination, all communications end-to-end.
- Rebuilt course materials from scratch: redesigned lecture slides, developed exam question banks, facilitated innovation workshops, mentored early-stage teams.
- Set and audited the final exam questions against quality frameworks before submission.
Paid Independent Adjudicator on the national and international British Parliamentary debate circuit. Being a paid IA as an undergraduate is uncommon. Four paid engagements to date.
- Oxford Schools India Qualifiers 2026. Invited IA (paid), 30 rooms
- IIT Madras Parliamentary Debate 2026. Invited IA (paid), NF Panel, 2 rounds chaired
- NLUO Parliamentary Debate 2026. Broke as Invited IA (paid)
- NLSIU 2025–26. Paid judge, internal competitive debate
Built a multi-robot simulation for autonomous waste collection. First real exposure to ROS 2 and multi-robot coordination, which fed directly into the Capstone.
- Engineered a leader-follower algorithm with a master bot and TurtleBot3 fleet using LiDAR navigation in ROS 2
- Deployed and validated simulation environments in Gazebo and NVIDIA Isaac Sim
- Built an ESP32 + ThingSpeak IoT pipeline for real-time thermal data collection and visualization
- Explored predictive modeling of room thermal dynamics for HVAC energy efficiency
The engineer who
stands up and argues.
I compete in British Parliamentary debate and get paid to adjudicate at IIT Madras, Oxford Schools India, NLUO, and NLSIU. Still in my third year.
Engineer by training. Debater by practice.

Three clubs.
Same time.
Same person.
While doing a B.Tech. While competing nationally in debate. While building 6+ technical projects.
Leading PES University's IEEE RAS chapter across all technical and non-technical verticals. Previously co-headed RoboFest 4.0 and built the ReRO Remote Robotics Hackathon. where participants upload code to physical robots and watch them run live via video feed. International participants.
RoboFest 4.0 · ReRO Hackathon · Inter-university representation
Overall strategy, speaker curation, sponsorship, operations. Ran production for "Mosaics of Modernity" and "Tessellations of Time". two consecutive events. Speakers from IISc, L&T, Forbes India, Trilegal, and more. 200+ attendees per event.
2 events produced · Production, curation, design, marketing
Content strategy, multimedia production, branding. The entire PES JMC (Journalism & Mass Communication) department works under and with MINERVA. Hosted Tri-Media-Thon. an overnight brand-crisis hackathon with Adobe as sponsor and a CEO judge who gave internships on the spot.

Beyond
work.
When I'm not running clubs or judging debates, I'm running actual distances, reading actual books, and trying to learn to crochet (yes, really). The same brain that debugs ROS 2 pipelines also spends weekends on cooking experiments.
Starting consistent rock climbing. Just picked up crochet. Guitar is next. The pattern of starting things before finishing old ones is not a bug.
"Give me a book over most things. Fiction, non-fiction, whatever. The goal is always the same: understand how someone else's world works from the inside."
- Guitar. on the list, soon
- Rock climbing. building a consistent training schedule
- Crochet. in progress, no finished piece yet
- Cooking. ongoing, levelling up gradually

If something here
sparked a thought,
Internships, research, collaborations, interesting problems. I'm a third-year engineering student who runs three clubs, judges debates nationally, and builds things across robotics, ML, and embedded systems. I'm still figuring out what to go deep on. All options are open.
Reach out. The worst that happens is a good conversation.
