About me

A Software Engineer experienced in Web Development (TypeScript, MERN, Next.js, & AWS) with a strong background in Data Structures and Algorithms. I am also enthusiastic about Artificial Intelligence & Blockchain and their amalgamation with the Web. When not coding, I'm out discovering fascinating destinations or watching anime. Because of my diverse skill set and interests, I love working in a multicultural atmosphere and would be highly valuable to any team.

    HeimdallAI

    HeimdallAI

    HeimdallAI is an intelligent, autonomous penetration testing platform that leverages Large Language Models (LLMs), agentic AI, and explainable AI to continuously discover, assess, and report security vulnerabilities across an organization's entire attack surface. It is pentesting that never sleeps โ€” a system that thinks like a seasoned security researcher, reasons through attack chains, and delivers actionable intelligence at machine speed. Traditional penetration testing is expensive, infrequent, and constrained by human availability. Organizations typically engage pentesters once or twice a year, leaving months-long blind spots where new vulnerabilities go undetected. HeimdallAI eliminates this gap by providing continuous, AI-driven security assessment that operates 24/7, scales effortlessly, and costs a fraction of manual testing.

    SocratIQ

    SocratIQ

    # SocratIQ: Autonomous Knowledge Refinery โ€” Summary SocratIQ is a decentralized marketplace that changes how AI improves itself. Instead of humans querying AI, AI agents autonomously detect their own knowledge gaps and purchase high-quality human reasoning using USDC on the Arc blockchain. This creates a sustainable loop where human expertise is monetized, AI models avoid reasoning decay, and knowledge exchange is transparent, trustless, and efficient. ## The Problem Modern AI systems face model decay from synthetic data, struggle with cultural nuance, ethics, advanced reasoning, and real-time expertise, and rely on inefficient alignment methods like RLHF. Meanwhile, human experts lack scalable ways to monetize deep thinking, and authentic human insight is increasingly buried under AI-generated content. ## The Solution SocratIQ acts as an Autonomous Knowledge Refinery, aligning AI demand with human expertise via smart contracts and decentralized verification. ### Key Roles * Procurers: AI agents with USDC treasuries that post bounties * Refiners: Human experts providing high-order reasoning * Arbiters: Decentralized AI juries validating quality * Settlement: Instant, predictable USDC payments on Arc ## How It Works AI agents monitor confidence levels and post bounties when uncertainty arises. Tasks are matched through a tiered marketplace (from quick fact checks to expert consultation). Submissions are verified by a multi-model AI jury, and payments are streamed via Circleโ€™s x402 protocol in milestones, reducing risk and enabling feedback. ## Use Cases Healthcare diagnostics, legal research, scientific discovery, culturally sensitive customer support, etc. ## Advantages & Impact SocratIQ offers first-mover advantage, decentralized quality assurance, instant settlement, resale royalties, etc. ## Future Multi-modal bounties, federated learning, DAO governance, cross-chain expansion, and domain-specific marketplaces.

    The QuantumVerse Protocol

    The QuantumVerse Protocol

    QuantumVerse is a blockchain-based financial ecosystem built on the Qubic network that revolutionizes digital asset ownership, management, and automation through the convergence of decentralized finance, and artificial intelligence. The platform introduces the concept of "living assets"โ€”digital tokens that evolve, adapt, and generate value based on real-world performance, holder behavior, and AI-driven intelligence. The MVPs are in place to be build and major Aspects of the Project on which MVPs will be built on are: - QHAP - The Quantum Hybrid Asset Protocol - Dynamic Evolution and Real-World Asset Integration - AI-Powered Automation and Investment Archetypes - Creator Economy and SocialFi Governance - Marketplace Protocol

    OmniFlow OS

    OmniFlow OS

    OmniFlow OS is a revolutionary, multi-dimensional AI operating system designed to transform how organizations and cities function. Built on the power of IBM Watsonx Orchestrate, it moves beyond simple task automation to create a hierarchical ecosystem of intelligent agents. The system is structured into layers: specialized Nano Modules handle atomic tasks (like analyzing soil pH or flagging fraud), while Micro and Macro Modules combine these skills into powerful, cross-functional workflows. At the heart of the system lies the OmniBrain, a master orchestrator that dynamically delegates complex problems across six critical domains: Finance, Agriculture, Technology, People (HR), Operations, and Urban Resilience. Unlike passive chatbots, OmniFlow OS agents are designed to act, decide, and collaborate. They integrate seamlessly with enterprise systems of recordโ€”including Salesforce, Workday, ServiceNow, and Boxโ€”to execute real-world tasks. Whether it is autonomously forecasting a startupโ€™s financial runway, dispatching emergency crews to a city infrastructure failure via CityShield, or ensuring GDPR compliance in legal contracts, OmniFlow OS empowers users to achieve more with less effort. It represents the future of the digital workforce: a cohesive, intelligent system where AI agents work together to solve the complex challenges of the modern world.

    SignFlow

    SignFlow

    In virtual communicationโ€”whether in meetings, classrooms, healthcare, or remote workโ€”Deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals still struggle to fully access spoken conversations. Captions lack context, human interpreters are not always available, and sign language is more than just textโ€”itโ€™s expressive, visual, and emotional. SignFlow aims to fill this accessibility gap. SignFlow is an AI-powered Chrome extension that listens to live speech during video calls, understands the meaning using Google Gemini, converts speech to structured sign language using NLP, and generates realistic sign animations through Opus AI video generation tools. These generated sign videos are either retrieved from our sign phrase library stored in Qdrant vector database, or dynamically produced using AI when no pre-recorded sign exists. The entire processing pipeline is hosted and deployed using Surge, ensuring fast, scalable, real-time performance inside the browser. Instead of showing subtitles, SignFlow displays a sign language avatar or animated gesture videos on screen, signing naturally with hand shapes, facial expressions, and flow. The MVP version translates 30โ€“50 basic phrases, supports real-time sign rendering, and integrates smoothly with Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams. Key Technologies Used: ๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Gemini API (Speech Understanding & NLP) โ€“ accurately extracts meaning and context from spoken language ๐Ÿ’ฌ Custom NLP Models โ€“ structure speech into sign grammar format ๐ŸŽฅ Grok / AI Video Generation โ€“ create or fetch sign language animations ๐Ÿ“ Qdrant Vector DB โ€“ store and retrieve sign gestures efficiently using semantic search ๐ŸŒ Chrome Extension Framework โ€“ integrates AI-powered sign translation directly into the browser SignFlow is more than an accessibility toolโ€”itโ€™s a real-time communication bridge that makes conversations not just understandable, but truly inclusive.
