Selected work

Fault Labs AI

I’m building AI agents that find vulnerabilities in code, APIs, and live applications. The agents validate attack paths, explain root causes, and help teams retest fixes. I’m also researching recurrent memory transformers to reduce the compute cost of scaling AI.

IIMplement

I built an operating platform for education institutes. It brings course delivery, question banks, mock exams, scoring, student analytics, and faculty workflows into one system.

Agentic

I worked with wealth management firms and hedge funds to build Agentic, a system for tracking holdings, trades, performance, and risk. Investment teams can ask questions about their portfolios and set up monitoring alerts in plain English.

PoemFormer ↗

I trained a poetry generation model from scratch with about 100 million parameters and 130 million training tokens, then published the model artifacts on Hugging Face.

About

I moved to Delhi on my own after about a year of building from home. I stayed with a friend, started reaching out to clients, and eventually got a place of my own.

Since 2024, I’ve worked independently on client systems, from websites and lead management to AI agents, CRM automation, and internal dashboards. I take projects from scoping and architecture through deployment and maintenance.

I was selected for Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub in June 2026.

Certifications and tools

NSE Academy certificates in Data Science with R, Financial Modelling and Valuation, and Business Intelligence using Power BI and Tableau.

Python, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis, Azure, AWS, Cloudflare, Docker, and PyTorch.

Security research

In 2026, I identified vulnerabilities in public websites and reported them through CERT-In with reproduction steps and an explanation of the impact.
