About Me
Unveiling the Layers of My Story
AI/ML enthusiast with hands-on experience in hackathons, research, and entrepreneurship. I've worked on India's first Telugu LLM at Viswam AI, conducted AI research at IIT Kanpur, and led innovation initiatives at GCET. My passion lies in building impactful, real-world solutions using Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and emerging technologies.
As Head of IGNITE at IIC-GCET and Team Leader at NEN Club, I drive initiatives that foster entrepreneurship and innovation. I've participated in 20+ events including Adobe Hackathon, ISRO's Bharatiya Antariksh Hackathon, and Boeing BUILD 3.0, winning multiple competitions and representing my institution at national forums.
