Hardware Roots.
Software Scale.
My journey didn't start with pure software; it started with the physical hardware. I hold a Diploma in Computer Hardware and Maintenance, which taught me how machines actually breathe before I ever wrote a line of code.
Transitioning into my B.E. in Electronics and Telecommunication was a deliberate move to master the software that controls that hardware. I am currently seeking specialized internships and full-time software engineering roles at the intersection of IoT, Embedded Systems, and Android Development.
What drives me is execution and self-reliance. My goal is to join a forward-thinking MNC or product-driven company where I can architect end-to-end systems—from programming microcontrollers and managing local MQTT networks 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.
