I'm a third-year Computer Science student at VIT Chennai, building AI systems that solve practical problems — not just models that perform well on paper. I'm particularly interested in document intelligence, explainable machine learning, and the challenge of turning messy, real-world data into structured, reliable systems.

What excites me most isn't just training a model — it's understanding the entire system around it. I enjoy asking why something works, how people will actually use it, where it might fail, and what makes it reliable enough to trust in the real world. That curiosity has naturally pulled me toward the intersection of AI and product thinking.

I'm always looking for opportunities to work with thoughtful teams, learn from experienced engineers, and contribute to AI products that create meaningful impact.

Edge Defense

AI Network Intrusion Detection

Production ML system for network intrusion detection. XGBoost trained on 2.83M network flows with SHAP explainability on every prediction, enabling per-alert feature attribution for security analysts. Identified and removed Destination Port as a leaky feature through SHAP analysis. FastAPI backend on Render, React dashboard on Vercel with live traffic analysis and drag-and-drop CSV batch processing.

Multi-Phase Research · In Progress

VolatilityIQ — Explainable Volatility Forecasting

A research project fusing classical statistics and deep learning for Indian equity volatility prediction — with SHAP-based explainability and regime-conditional analysis. Phase 1 complete: the key finding is that GARCH's residual (not its forecast) becomes significantly more important during crisis periods (p<0.0001, FDR-corrected), while the pooled average looks null because crisis days are only ~6% of the test set. Phase 2 in progress — fusing structured signals from earnings-call transcripts as a third input stream.
