"Bridging physical engineering with digital intelligence to build scalable, high-impact automation products for real-world problems."

I am a passionate innovator, startup founder, and mechanical engineering student who lives at the intersection of hardware and software. I leverage IoT, Artificial Intelligence, computer vision, electronics, and mechanical CAD design to engineering-focused solutions.

Driven by product execution, I have built multiple startup-oriented innovations, most notably an AI-based Spitting Detection System and a Ananta Labs India. My goal is to build scalable, practical devices that solve pressing social and industrial issues.
