From Scratch games to AI systems.

Wins, trips, and what each one taught me.

Day one at MMCOE

It started in school, making little games in Scratch. That curiosity walked me into MMCOE, Pune, for IT with Honors in Data Science.

Smart India Hackathon finalist

Team Psycool, six of us, reached the Grand Finale with an Android app that suggests careers to school students from their aptitude and personality.

We visited schools to run aptitude and psychometric tests ourselves, and mapped traits to careers with professional counsellors.

Straight out of college into R&D, building web components for a simulation platform. First lesson: in an enterprise, every process keeps you two steps ahead, so do it right.

Trip2024

Bir Billing, paragliding

A few thousand metres up, and then nothing below my feet. Hell of an experience.

Up in the sky, I realized how small I am in this vast universe, and how beautiful it is to simply be a part of it.

Award2024

Applause Annual Award

Our team shipped 100+ features to make simulation inclusive and accessible to non-experts.

A team that challenges ideas, not people, ships better work.

GraphMind

My thesis became a platform: documents, code or audio in, a knowledge graph out. It runs from my own Mac.

“Turns out, you can build a career and earn a degree along the way, but you also have to make sure you don't lose yourself in the process.”

M.Tech, done

Career and degree, side by side.
