About
I spent two years as an automation engineer at Landis+Gyr, on systems where software meets metering hardware and being wrong costs real money. I'm now an AI platform engineer at Creatzi.ai, working on the infrastructure that sits between a model and something people can use. What keeps me interested is the layer underneath — not just whether a system works, but why it was built that way and where it breaks when you lean on it.
That curiosity has a habit of spilling outward. Chasing it has taken me through Python backends, DevOps, computer vision, machine learning, embedded systems, cloud infrastructure, and mobile development. None of it came from following tutorials; I'd rather take something large, break it into parts I actually understand, and build it up from there. It's how a chessboard that can see, a phone that acts as a trackpad, and an app that listens to you practise scales all ended up on the same list.
When I'm not building, I'm usually reading something technical, grinding LeetCode, or working out how to get a twenty-year-old game running in a browser tab.
Experience
-
Apr 2026 — Present
AI Platform Engineer · Creatzi.ai
Building the platform layer that ML work runs on — the infrastructure, pipelines and tooling between a model and something people can actually use.
-
Aug 2023 — Nov 2025
Automation Engineer · Landis+Gyr
Two years of automation for energy-metering systems, where the software talks to hardware and being wrong is expensive. The lesson that stuck: reliability is a design property, not a testing phase — most of the job was making failure modes boring, visible, and cheap to reproduce.
-
Feb 2022 — Aug 2022
Research Assistant · Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology
Built eye-tracked cursor control from a standard webcam — Mediapipe for iris landmarks, geometry for point-of-focus estimation, and a Flask interface with text-to-speech. The constraint was the point: dedicated eye trackers cost more than the computer, which puts them out of reach of the people who need them most.

2019 — 2023
BE, Computer Engineering · Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology
Worked as a research assistant here in 2022, on webcam-based eye tracking.
Projects
Each of these has a write-up — what the problem was, what I chose, and what I'd defend if you pushed on it.

Sheet Guide: learning to read sheet music by playing it
I wanted to play songs on the flute, but every song I found was sheet music I couldn't read. So I built a tool that teaches notation the other way round — by listening while you play.

Web Mouse: your phone as a trackpad, and the auth model it needed
I wanted to try an Apple trackpad without buying one. It turns out I already owned a slab of multi-touch glass — the hard part was deciding who gets to move the cursor.
-
Plant Identifier: naming a plant with no signal
I saw a flower in a park and wanted to know what it was. No bars. Every plant identification app on my phone was useless at exactly the moment I needed one — so the model had to come off the server and onto the device.

Electromyo-Sleeve: moving a cursor with muscle signals
A wearable sleeve that reads EMG activity, sends it wirelessly to a computer, and turns it into cursor coordinates through a trained model — with seizure detection that alerts a caregiver when the signal goes abnormal.

Iris Cursor: driving a computer with your eyes and a webcam
Research work on eye-tracked cursor control — Mediapipe to follow iris movement, geometry to turn that into a point of focus on screen, and no hardware beyond the camera already in the laptop.
