Architecting Systems from Silicon to Cloud

Bridging low-level systems programming with modern distributed architectures and intelligent reinforcement learning algorithms.

I am a Computer Science & Engineering undergraduate at Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology (MNNIT) Allahabad. My engineering work ranges from kernel-adjacent C++ reinforcement learning engines to high-security distributed document networks for defense operations.

During my internship at Microsoft, I engineered core threat intelligence integrations for Microsoft Defender, scaling STIX relationship modeling and binary analysis workflows. At the Indian Air Force Crest Indian Air Force, I spearheaded mission-critical platforms including zero-trust PDF distribution (VayuReader) and celestial coordinate visualization systems (Astara).
