About me

I am a third-year B.Tech student in AI & Data Science at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Engineering College, Pondicherry, focused on building autonomous AI agent systems. He designs and ships full-stack agentic platforms spanning FastAPI backends, PostgreSQL/Redis data layers, AWS infrastructure, and real-time WebSocket pipelines and runs a self-hosted home server on headless Ubuntu with Tailscale and Cloudflare Tunnel as a hands-on infrastructure lab. His recent work includes Ocean Sentinels, a coastal safety platform with BLE mesh offline relay and multi-role incident reporting, and Rio Agent, an autonomous super-agent with native audio I/O, multi-model escalation, and a 20-tool ToolBridge architecture. He is enrolled in the AWS AI & ML Scholars program on the Agentic Engineer track and is an active member of his college's Google Developer Group chapter. His goal is to be a production-grade Agentic AI Engineer by 2027.
