Projects

  • CoalWorks - Smart India Hackathon 2024 Finalist | /coalWorks
    Deployed a multi-sensory IoT mesh network supporting over 50 nodes per gateway, utilizing the Goertzel algorithm for low-overhead frequency calculations (mini-FFT) to enable real-time, fault-tolerant safety monitoring.
  • Cookie-lang - A Custom Programming Language And Compiler | /Cookie-lang
    Developed Cookie, a simple, intuitive programming language with an easy-to-use syntax. Its compiler was built using Flex, Bison, and LLVM for IR/code generation, with an online playground for compiling Cookie on the web.
  • USV - IIT-M PALS Aquatic Drone Challenge | /Pals
    Advanced to Phase 2 of developing an autonomous USV for water waste collection, worked on the MAVLink protocol for obstacle avoidance and waypoint navigation, designing a 180° servo-actuated ultrasonic scanning system, and building a waste classifier model.
  • TerraSense – Google Developers Solutions Challenge 2024 | /TerraSense
    Led a team of three to develop TerraSense, a climate assistant using Google Earth Engine, enabling periodic climate monitoring, air quality assessment, and crop recommendations with Sentinel-2 satellite spectral data.
  • LifeCapsule - IEEE Mini Hackathon Top 5 | /LifeCapsule
    A privacy-focused application enabling users to retrieve memories through natural language queries, integrating Deepseek R1, LangChain, and ChromaDB for offline semantic search and contextual understanding.
  • College Marketplace - DevHouse’25 | /Marketplace
    Developed a Go (Gin)–based cloud-native platform for college students to exchange secondhand products, deployed on Azure Container Apps with a microservices architecture and domain-restricted authentication, achieving 60% cost savings and 20% recovery of academic resources.
