backend systems and infrastructure engineer.
I'm a third-year student at Chennai Institute of Technology, graduating in 2028.
I remember taking the Chennai Metro for the first time and being overwhelmed by its scale. Trains were moving in parallel, stopping exactly where they were supposed to, and carrying thousands of people through a system that had to keep working every day. I started wondering about the software behind it, and whether I could build systems that handled the same kind of complexity.
During COVID, I maintained a Discord bot that I originally built by following tutorials. At some point, that stopped being enough. I started writing my own context classes, methods, and abstractions. I could finally make something complex without needing someone else to show me the next step. That was when systems thinking started to click.
I like the moment when many parts of a system work together and the whole thing suddenly makes sense. I'm now trying to get deeper into systems engineering, especially concurrency, infrastructure, LLM inference, and agent orchestration.

Built for the Razorpay Buildathon. OpenStore lets merchants make their existing stores usable by the agents their customers already use. It runs an MCP server over a merchant's store so third-party agents, currently Claude, can interact with it. The hard part was making autonomous actions feel simple while keeping them secure and bounded.
A local-first autonomous agent runtime with 14 tool primitives, persistent memory, and multi-provider routing. The core challenge was orchestrating six specialized seats and building a self-improving harness around the capabilities available to each agent.
A deterministic Chennai Metro Rail simulation engine. The difficult part was modeling the passenger pipeline while keeping a constant number of trains moving through the system, alongside virtual time, train motion, and CBTC moving-block safety.
