What I'm looking for

I'm seeking contest math coaching, Olympiad curriculum mentoring, or proof-evaluation roles where I can help AMC/AIME-level students develop rigorous, independent problem-solving skills.

I've mentored junior contributors at amFOSS Open Source Club through algorithmic problem decomposition, formal debugging, and proof-logic reviews using Socratic questioning.

I built Retentia, an adaptive STEM learning platform using spaced repetition, automated quiz generation, retention tracking, PostgreSQL, SQLAlchemy, and FastAPI. I also developed a student skill analytics platform to monitor learning trajectories, diagnostic outcomes, and skill progression.

As a JEE Advanced 2024 qualifier, I bring rigorous experience across algebra, combinatorics, geometry, calculus, probability, and contest-level problem solving. I'm focused on helping AMC, AIME, JEE, and secondary-school students build independent mathematical reasoning.
