Hardware Roots.
Software Scale.
My journey didn't start with pure software; it started with physical hardware. I hold a Diploma in Computer Hardware, which taught me how machines breathe before I ever wrote a line of code.
- Deliberate Transition: Moved into a B.E. in Electronics & Telecommunication to master the software that controls hardware.
- Current Focus: Seeking specialized internships and full-time roles at the intersection of IoT, Embedded Systems, and Android Development.
- End Goal: Architecting end-to-end systems—from programming microcontrollers to building the reliable Android interfaces that command them.

PROJECT HOME
Autonomous Offline AI Home
A fully autonomous system powered by a local LLM running on a private server. Operates entirely offline with zero internet dependency, utilizing MQTT over a secure local network to command physical hardware without cloud infrastructure.
Biomedical Device Prototype
Hardware-to-Software Integration
Engineered a physical wearable biomedical device from scratch. Integrated pulse oximetry and temperature sensing with reliable Bluetooth LE telemetry, transmitting continuous data streams directly to a custom companion Android application.
