About Me

I'm a second-year Computer Science student at Shiv Nadar University Chennai (CGPA: 8.5) who loves building things, breaking things, and figuring out how everything works under the hood. My interests span systems engineering, cybersecurity, and scalable software.

Cybersecurity & CTF

Active CTF player — 2nd Place at Pragyan CTF, Winners at Edita CTF, Top 30 of 40,000+ at Shaastra CTF, and Top 750 globally on Hack The Box. I lead the cybersecurity vertical at POC Coding Club, focusing on reverse engineering, secure architectures, and challenge-solving.

Projects & Engineering

I build across the entire stack — web apps, mobile apps, AI pipelines, cloud infrastructure — whatever the problem demands. From consumer platforms serving thousands of users to internal tools, OCR-powered utilities to RAG systems, I've shipped production code across every layer. I don't specialize in one stack — I pick the right tool for the job and figure out the rest.

Current Work & Skills

Previously a Core Full-Stack Engineer at Hoku, building a consumer SaaS platform with 1,000+ users on Node.js, Next.js, Azure, and PostgreSQL. Also built NetworkGeek's production mobile app in Flutter and worked at Fanpit Technologies on platform performance. I work with React, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, Flutter, Docker, and PostgreSQL.

Outside tech, I'm a district-level hockey player, content creator with 2 short films, and currently writing a novel.

FAQs
What kind of work are you open to?

Full-stack development, mobile apps, cybersecurity consulting, and cloud infrastructure. I've built consumer SaaS platforms, production mobile apps, and AI-powered tools -- so if it involves shipping real software, I'm interested.
