Leadership & Experience

Founder

Drone Club – SJCET

Established the college's first drone club. Organized workshops, competitions, and hands-on drone development sessions for students to foster interest and expertise in autonomous systems.

Software Head

NIDAR 2025

Headed the software division to develop an autonomous drone system for precision agriculture, optimizing payload drop mechanisms and custom imaging workflows for efficient crop monitoring.

Team Lead

Vitals 24

Led a multidisciplinary team to build "Bromance," a comprehensive ADHD-focused accessibility application featuring specialized typography and interactive querying methodologies.

Main Projects

AI-Driven Pandemic Simulation

GAMA Platform
  • Implemented SEIDR and multi-fidelity physics-informed neural networks in GAML to simulate disease spread dynamics under varying intervention scenarios.
  • Engineered agent decision rules and physics-based constraints for high-fidelity infection modeling.
  • Developed real-time visualizations and comparative analytics for policy impact assessment.

Long-Context Token Gater

LLM Optimization
  • Developed a modular system to optimize how LLMs process long-form data.
  • Implemented specialized gating modules using hybrid, joint entropy, and quantum-based logic.
  • Includes scripts for mass query execution and synthetic QA generation.

Bromance App: ADHD Attention Methods

1st Place • Vitals 24Flutter / Cross-Platform
OpenDyslexic Typography: Integrated specialized fonts to letters from appearing to flip or rotate.
Interactive Querying: Replaced passive reading with an active retrieval system, encouraging users to engage with data through searching and questioning.
Cross-Platform UI: Built with Flutter to ensure a predictable and uniform interface across Android, iOS, Web, and Desktop, reducing the cognitive effort needed to navigate different devices.
