About
Software engineer and product builder who identifies real-world problems and ships end-to-end systems independently from architecture to deployment.
I build autonomous AI agents, multimodal edge-AI pipelines, and physics-informed ML models with strict anti-hallucination guardrails and data-leakage prevention. Combines rapid full-stack execution in TypeScript and Python with strong computer science and cybersecurity fundamentals.

Projects
Built to learn. Shipped to prove it.
UTIS
FeaturedBuildingUrban Heat Island Geospatial AI & Grounded Copilot
Analyzed 7 years (2019 to 2025) of Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery across 114 Nagpur wards to map persistent thermal hotspots and evaluate urban cooling scenarios. Built with a tool-calling AI copilot where LLM arithmetic is prohibited and all what-if queries execute a server-side regression model (ΔLST ∼ ΔNDVI + ΔNDBI).
Stack
- Python + FastAPI
- Google Earth Engine API
- Tool-Calling LLMs (Groq / Gemini / OpenRouter)
- Scikit-learn
- Leaflet
Veritas
LiveExplainable AICTE pre-scrutiny copilot (SIH 2026) automating dossier checks via a 4-Way Consistency Matrix, calibrated Laya System-1 RLCD primitives, 3-layer PDF tamper forensics (ELA, JPEG ghost maps, SIFT), and pgvector CV compliance.
