I build things that think, predict & scale.

From AI systems adopted by national banks to founding a consulting chapter at 19 — I don't wait for the right opportunity, I engineer it.

Who
I Am

Most people my age are figuring out what they want to do. I'm already building it. I've shipped an AI credit engine that a national bank actually uses, designed financial models that adapt to market chaos in real-time, and founded a consulting chapter that went from zero to live client engagements in under three months.

I'm a second-year B.Tech student at IIPE, but the classroom is honestly the smallest part of my education. The real learning happens when I'm neck-deep in a hackathon at 3 AM, stress-testing a model that needs to work by morning, or convincing a room full of judges that my team's solution isn't just clever — it's deployable.

What drives me? The gap between what AI can theoretically do and what it actually does in the real world. I want to close that gap — in finance, in energy, in any system where better intelligence means better outcomes for real people.

Experience
& Leadership

Founder & President — 180 Degrees Consulting, IIPE

Nov 2025 – Present · Visakhapatnam

Started with an idea and zero infrastructure. Within 3 months, built a full-stack consulting operation — recruited and trained a 20+ member team, secured real clients, and delivered data-driven strategy engagements for NGOs and mid-sized companies. Not a college club; a functioning consultancy.

Founder & Head — Quizzing Club, IIPE

Oct 2024 – Present · Visakhapatnam

Turned a non-existent quiz culture into a 200+ member community and IIPE's most active club. Organized 15+ events, took teams to national podiums, and proved that building culture from scratch is just another execution problem.

Project Intern — Wheels India Ltd.

Jul 2025 – Aug 2025 · Chennai

Walked into a factory floor and found a 12% efficiency gap everyone had accepted as normal. Didn't accept it. Rebuilt the bottleneck analysis from scratch and deployed SPC-driven quality dashboards that gave the floor team real-time decision power.

Summer Intern — The Madras Pharmaceuticals

Jun 2025 – Jul 2025 · Chennai

Got hands-on with pharmaceutical R&D — running formulation workflows, HPLC analyses, and stability testing under actual GMP/ICH conditions. Learned that precision in the lab and precision in code aren't that different.

Quantifiable impact across competitions, hackathons, and leadership.

FinShield Hackathon winning moment

FinShield Hackathon — Bank of India

Built RISKON from scratch — an AI credit intelligence platform that doesn't just score risk, it understands borrower behavior. The Bank of India didn't just give us the ₹5L prize; they adopted the platform.
