May 2024

chapter

Amity International School, Saket , done

Senior secondary finished. The last time anyone would hand me a curriculum and expect it to be enough.

Aug 2024

chapter

B.Tech CSE begins , AKTU

Computer science, class of 2028. Within a semester it was obvious the syllabus and the field were moving at different speeds , so the second, self-assigned curriculum started here too.

Sep–Oct 2024

milestone

The certificate phase

Microsoft & LinkedIn credentials in generative AI and Python. Useful vocabulary, honest starting point , and the moment I understood certificates are where learning starts, not where it counts. Everything after this is artifacts.

2024

competition

Winner , ThinkTank Ideathon

First win. BioVents: an AI-driven sustainable ventilation concept pitched as a replacement for traditional HVAC. Kaizen Technical Society. Proof that showing up with a built-out idea beats showing up with a deck.

2025

Jan–Feb 2025

internship

AI Intern , Edunet Foundation

First industry loop: supervised learning end-to-end, three-plus real datasets, scikit-learn and Pandas in anger. Feature engineering stopped being a lecture slide and became a Tuesday.

18 Jun 2025

milestone

Top 0.24% , a day inside WebVeda

Six selected from 2,500+ applicants for a day inside Ankur Warikoo's startup. The selection was flattering; watching a real team make decisions at speed was the education. Recalibrated what 'ambitious' means.

2025

competition

2nd Runner-Up , Startup Symphony, DTU

GroomAI: an AI skincare companion for men, built to poke at a stereotype. Placed third at Delhi Technological University , and taught me more about pitching a product than building one.

2025

competition

The finalist circuit

Finalist at ProductathonAI (IIT Roorkee), PitchCafe 8.0 (IIIT Delhi) and Soch 5.0 (DTU). Three different campuses, three different judging panels, one compounding skill: explaining a technical idea to people with no reason to care.

The shipping streak

SummaryAI, roastGPT, SignSpeak, SahayLink, Pathways , a run of small, fast, public experiments. Most won't matter individually. The cadence is the point: every one made the next one faster to build.

2026

Jun 2026

shipping

Three real products, shipped

Prompt Optimizer, CareAI and the Sentiment Analyzer went from repos to case studies , deployed backends, live URLs, honest metrics. The difference from the streak before: these were built to be used, not just to learn.

Jun–Jul 2026

internship

Research Intern , IIT Delhi

Summer research internship on a Government of India project: institutional data aggregation at national scale. Built automated extraction, validation and enrichment pipelines in Python , web scraping, geocoding, cleaning , turning scattered public records into datasets people can actually make decisions with.

Now

milestone

The next chapter is being written

Deeper into LLM systems: evals, agents, retrieval. Prompt Optimizer v2. More writing. This entry updates as the work does , that's the whole idea of a public record.
