Code, connect, and create — the self-hosted way.
I'm a student at JK Lakshmipat University with a strong focus on Python, Machine Learning, and Backend Development. My work centers on building reliable software through automation, API integration, and system design fundamentals, with an emphasis on project-driven engineering and rigorous technical problem solving.
I am a hands-on builder who works across the full stack—developing React and Next.js frontends, Python-based backends and REST APIs, and containerized deployments using Docker on Linux. I emphasize clean architecture, performance, and scalable system design.
I am particularly interested in self-hosted and privacy-preserving systems. Managing my own servers has given me practical experience with Linux, networking, container orchestration, and secure remote access. I enjoy working close to the system layer to understand how software behaves end to end.
Designing and implementing practical AI systems using LLMs, NLP pipelines, and local inference workflows.
Building scalable, production-ready applications with modern frontend frameworks and backend architectures.
Deploying and managing private servers, secure tunnels, containers, and monitoring systems.
Practical systems I've built across AI, automation, and self-hosted infrastructure. Each project reflects hands-on experience with real deployment, performance trade-offs, and system design decisions. All projects follow Git-based workflows and documented development practices.
A local-first conversational AI assistant built with Python and the Ollama API. Implements low-latency, real-time speech recognition, NLP-based intent handling, and voice-driven command execution for interacting with system-level tasks.
A Jellyfin-inspired platform with a custom Python backend, React frontend, and Cloudflare Tunnel integration. Enables secure remote streaming, media management, and cross-device access—all without relying on third-party cloud services.
A Docker-based monitoring dashboard for managing multiple self-hosted services. Provides real-time status checks, resource monitoring, and quick access to all deployed applications—essential for maintaining a personal infrastructure.
A hardened Debian 12 server implementation with Tailscale VPN, custom firewall rules, and secure remote access protocols. Focused on privacy, data security, and network isolation—demonstrating infrastructure security best practices.
A focused skill set spanning AI systems, backend engineering, and infrastructure—used to build scalable, reliable, and locally deployed software systems.
An overview of my academic background, technical projects, and hands-on experience in building AI-driven systems and managing production-grade infrastructure.
Local Agentic AI Browser
I am building a local-first, agent-based AI browser focused on automating complex workflows while keeping computation and data on the user's machine. The project emphasizes agent planning, tool orchestration, and tight system integration using locally hosted LLMs.
I'm open to discussing internships, research opportunities, and technical collaborations in AI systems and infrastructure. Whether you're working on something interesting or just want to connect—reach out!
