Message

At ASTRA Lab, Indian Institute of Technology Madras, I built a six-role agentic vulnerability scanner using LangGraph and MCP to orchestrate security tools. I also implemented a cyclic ReAct loop with asynchronous execution and self-healing retries.

At the Center for Quantum Sciences and Technology, IIT Mandi, I investigated deep learning approaches to denoise complex-valued bolometer signals. I designed and trained a complex-valued U-Net and used time-frequency analysis to locate signal activity and examine partial reconstruction.

Through projects including LegalBERT Document Classification, I fine-tuned LegalBERT with LoRA and ranked fifth among 147 participants. I also founded The WebQuill, where I developed full-stack applications and deployed production systems using AWS.
