Hardware, Software, Intelligence.

I build end-to-end intelligent systems — from ESP8266 firmware and sensor fusion to C++17 REST services, computer vision pipelines, and full-stack web platforms.

Beyond the Code

I'm a B.Tech Cyber Security & IoT student at SRET Chennai who genuinely believes that the most exciting engineering happens at the intersection of hardware and intelligence. I didn't start in AI or embedded — I started by breaking things apart, figuring out how they worked, and putting them back together better.

That curiosity led me from basic web projects to building autonomous rovers with real-time telemetry, training custom YOLO models for campus surveillance, and writing production REST APIs in raw C++17. Every project in this portfolio started with a real problem I wanted to solve — not a tutorial I wanted to follow.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me experimenting with ESP32-CAMs, reading about edge AI deployment, or debugging I2C buses at 2 AM because the MPU-6050 decided to stop responding.

Currently Exploring

What I'm actively learning and integrating into my engineering workflow.

Edge AI Deployment

Running optimized ML models directly on ESP32-CAM and Raspberry Pi — TFLite Micro, ONNX Runtime, and INT8 quantization for real-time inference at the edge.

Docker & Containerization

Containerizing full-stack deployments — multi-stage builds, Docker Compose orchestration, and CI/CD pipelines for reproducible environments.

Rust for Embedded

Memory-safe systems programming — exploring Rust for firmware development, replacing C++ in safety-critical IoT applications.

Offensive Security

Penetration testing methodologies, IoT device exploitation, and secure firmware development practices for production systems.
