I build and refine systemic tools, procedural systems, and experimental prototypes in Godot Engine and Unreal Engine, distilling what I learn into reusable libraries, products, and courses.

Cannot disclose this work.

Helped build the frontend for an NFT marketplace using Next.js, React, XState, TypeScript, and the Web3 ecosystem. I focused on reducing technical debt, improving engineering standards, collaborating closely with backend developers, and building reusable component systems across the product.

Engineered a statechart-driven UI architecture for a renderer-independent SVG editor inspired by Adobe Illustrator, including reusable headless UI systems, context-aware tooling, and geometric operations on SVG paths. I also built a runtime-independent SVG and font optimizer using functional programming and statecharts, while documenting the mathematics behind the system.

During COVID, I gathered and led a small group of digital nomads while building games, Chrome extensions, Shopify stores, and in-house themes for clients including Savaari and Umbrella QA. My work spanned engineering, product development, and marketing across tools like Godot Engine, React, Next.js, Three.js, and a wide mix of creative and backend technologies.

Engineered the developer experience, UI, and backend for a gamified habit-building social platform, while establishing team conventions and collaborative workflows. I also built automation systems for sourcing and processing business leads, generating thousands of investor leads in under a week using tools like TypeScript, React Native, Node.js, Puppeteer, and Firebase.

Built NLP-driven systems for extracting and analyzing information from contracts and PDFs, including APIs for data analysis, munging, and master data management. I also designed a DSL for flexible CSV transformations, combining domain research with tools like spaCy, Tesseract OCR, Docker, Flask, and scientific computing workflows in Python and Julia.

Built a Chromium-based browser system optimized for extremely slow networks by streaming interaction instead of full webpages. I engineered an event-capture client, socket-driven automation pipeline, and high-bandwidth proxy browser infrastructure that remotely executed user actions and returned compressed visual results using React, Node.js, Electron, Puppeteer, and WebSockets.

Developed a medicine inventory management system for a hospital that streamlined workflows and reduced operational effort by roughly 70%. The system included authentication, authorization, and inventory management features for medical and engineering staff, built using React and Node.js.

Led frontend development for a major techno-managerial festival in India, building high-performance marketing and event registration experiences with a strong focus on interaction and UX. It was built using React, Anime.js, SCSS, and modern frontend tooling. I designed it as well, which managed to grab some words of appreciation from "the" Subramanian Swamy.

Activities and societies: Spent more time in the library than the labs — taught myself 32+ programming languages and built 200+ projects solo, back when "just ask AI" wasn't an option. Built an operating system, signal processing software, and robotics projects along the way, because apparently regular coursework wasn't enough chaos.

Bachelor's degree in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS), Pilani — a top-tier Indian engineering institute known for its rigorous, merit-based admissions.
