I'm

full-stack & AI systems engineer, shipping at my own pace

I build practical products that think, connect, and deliver — from AI runtimes to embedded automation and trustless systems. Based in Mangaluru, Karnataka, India.

Orbit

Autonomous Founder Operating System

A multi-agent operating system that takes a business from idea to live, tested and marketed product. Local document grounding keeps private source material close, while specialized Gemini agents coordinate research, legal, brand, build, sales and support.

  • Gemma 4 local vault ingests documents, performs OCR and grounds agents in real business numbers.
  • Seven specialized agents work in parallel with conflict resolution before changes ship.
  • Plain-language Antigravity edits continuously update the live product while team context stays permissioned.

Novato

Linux Terminal Companion That Teaches You

A natural-language package manager and error watcher for Linux. Novato translates what users want into distro-aware commands, explains failures in plain English, and keeps working with an offline fallback when the internet is unavailable.

  • Intent-to-command search detects the distro, ranks packages and shows the exact command before execution.
  • A silent shell watcher speaks only when a command fails and offers a practical fix.
  • Basic rules, local llamafile and online Groq backends form an automatic four-mode fallback chain.

CollegeBell

IoT Automated Bell Management System

An end-to-end IoT bell automation system pairing an ESP01S and relay module with a Flutter Windows desktop app, replacing manual bell operation with schedule-driven, remotely controlled ringing.

  • Flutter desktop app packaged for Windows with MSIX for simple campus deployment.
  • Firebase Realtime Database dispatches bell commands to the ESP01S over Wi-Fi with sub-second latency.
  • ESP01S + relay hardware handles the physical bell trigger reliably from scheduled or remote commands.

Accord

AI-Negotiated Blockchain Escrow Platform

An autonomous escrow platform where three competing AI agents negotiate deals through a weighted optimizer, while an ARC-4 smart contract handles fund locking and release on Algorand — no human intermediary required.

  • Three competing agents negotiate deals via a weighted optimizer with autonomous on-chain settlement.
  • Self-hosted LLM inference stack (vLLM + ROCm) with a 3-tier fallback chain for reliability.
  • ARC-4 smart contract handles trustless fund locking and release on Algorand.

Software Lead

Automation Robotics Club (ARC), SJEC · Mangalore, India

Sep 2024 – Present

  • Built an RFID-based door access and attendance system with real-time Firebase sync, reducing manual attendance logging to zero across 2 campus labs.
  • Designed and delivered an automated bell scheduling system with an ESP01S microcontroller, relay module and Flutter-based Windows desktop application packaged with MSIX. Firebase Realtime Database enables staff to schedule and remotely trigger bells over Wi-Fi, replacing manual bell operation across the department.

Let's Connect!

or just say hi — I reply fast

Better products are built together.

01

Systems thinking

I connect product goals, user needs and technical constraints into solutions that stay coherent as they grow.

02

Ownership end to end

From the first architecture decision to the final deployment, I take responsibility for making the whole product work.

03

Curiosity that compounds

I learn deeply, document clearly and turn every project into a stronger foundation for the next one.

Got an idea? Let's ship it.

Internships, freelance builds, hackathon teams or a wild AI experiment — my inbox is open and my estimates are honest.
