I believe in clean, maintainable code and love collaborating on innovative ideas that bring value to users. Feel free to explore my awesome work to see what I’ve been up to!

Projects

Developed a centralized medical database system designed to unify patient medical histories across multiple hospitals. This system enables seamless access to critical information, especially valuable to first responders and emergency departments.

Key features include a proactive allergy alert system, which mitigates risks during emergency care, enhancing patient safety and optimizing treatment. The project also improved healthcare data management processes, facilitating precise diagnosis and personalized treatment plans through comprehensive, integrated patient records.

Created PranavaOku, a cloud provisioning system that dynamically allocates virtual machines and hosts static websites, reducing manual server management time by 40%.

The platform streamlines cloud resource management by implementing automated VM deployment and scaling, resulting in a 30% improvement in resource utilization efficiency. This flexible platform empowers users to deploy and manage over 100 web applications, enhancing cloud infrastructure capabilities and reducing overhead.

Developed a wearable assistive device, Speranza Cieca, aimed at reducing road accidents for visually impaired individuals. This device leverages real-time environmental data and alert mechanisms to enhance navigation safety.

Conducted research and analysis on assistive technologies tailored to the needs of India’s visually impaired population. The project improved daily living by supporting safe navigation and fostering social inclusion, addressing the specific needs of the world's largest visually impaired demographic.

Engineered a smart, responsive Home Security System powered by Raspberry Pi, equipped with motion sensors and cameras to deliver 24/7 real-time surveillance and instant alerts. Leveraging advanced detection algorithms, the system provides live video streaming and detects unauthorized access with high accuracy, ensuring comprehensive home protection.

Built with a focus on accessibility and ease-of-use, this system instantly sends SMS and email alerts upon any unusual activity, allowing users to respond quickly from anywhere. Designed to make top-tier security affordable, this project redefines home safety, blending technology with seamless user experience for truly intelligent protection.

Experience

As a skilled and driven professional, I have gained valuable experience through various internships and projects. During my time as a Project Intern at Nergy Live, I developed an anomaly detection system for HVAC systems, which enabled early identification of issues and enhanced overall system performance and reliability. I also revamped the company's website design to optimize user experience, resulting in improved navigation, engagement, and accessibility. Additionally, I integrated data visualization tools to provide actionable insights from real-time system monitoring, aiding in proactive decision-making and maintenance.

As a Research Intern at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, I designed a machine learning model to detect and mitigate DDoS attacks on cloud networks. I also enhanced network security by implementing real-time threat detection and response mechanisms, and collaborated with a cross-functional team to optimize model performance and reduce false positives.

Furthermore, I have been an active contributor to various open-source projects through the Hacktoberfest initiative at DigitalOcean. During this time, I enhanced community-driven development and collaboration, and also organized a hands-on open-source event to guide participants through their first contributions and demystify the open-source ecosystem for newcomers.
