About Me

Engineer. Builder. Lifelong learner.

I am an Electronics and Communication Engineering undergraduate at PES University with a strong interest in VLSI, hardware security, and intelligent systems. I am naturally drawn to understanding how systems work at a fundamental level — from digital logic and architecture to the software that drives modern technology.

I approach engineering with curiosity and discipline, valuing clarity, structure, and practical problem-solving. I enjoy working at the intersection of hardware and software, and I am particularly interested in how machine learning can strengthen security and system reliability.

Beyond academics, I actively contribute to student-led technical initiatives, where I have taken on mentoring, coordination, and operational responsibilities. These experiences have shaped my ability to work in teams, communicate clearly, and handle responsibility under pressure.

I am motivated by continuous learning and by building solutions that are precise, efficient, and thoughtfully engineered.
