AI Engineer ยท Distributed Systems Architect ยท Full Stack Developer
I am a final-year B.E. student in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning at DSATM, Bengaluru, with a 9.2 GPA, currently serving as an AI Engineer Intern at Hasprana Health Care Solutions. I design and ship production-grade systems โ from LLM-powered RAG pipelines and fault-tolerant distributed caches to real-time computer vision inference stacks โ with an emphasis on correctness, scalability, and measurable engineering impact.
My engineering philosophy centers on building systems that are provably correct under failure, rigorously tested, and observable in production. I approach AI/ML not as experimentation but as disciplined software engineering: quantized model exports, async job pipelines, race-condition-free concurrency, and CI-enforced coverage thresholds. I hold an IEEE publication, a national hackathon championship, and institutional recognition at Smart India Hackathon 2025.
Currently:
- Deploying predictive ML models inside a healthcare microservices ecosystem
- Researching real-time behavioral surveillance using YOLOv9 + LSTM for women's safety
- Building open-source infrastructure tooling at the intersection of RAG, gRPC, and distributed search

โฌก VectorDiff โ RAG Delta-Sync Engine + Distributed Search (NexusSearch)
A production-grade chunk-aware diffing engine for Retrieval-Augmented Generation systems, fused with a decentralized vector search framework. Eliminates redundant embedding API calls at scale while maintaining sub-50ms search latency across distributed sharded nodes. Features a React-powered visualization layer for real-time spatial and indexing observability.
The core insight driving VectorDiff is that most RAG sync operations are redundant โ documents change at the chunk level, not the document level. By implementing Hirschberg's LCS algorithm from scratch, the system performs surgical delta detection on chunk sequences, avoiding re-embedding unchanged content. The distributed search layer uses a custom gRPC MapReduce framework, fanning out queries to SQLite-sharded worker nodes and merging results through a custom KD-Tree accelerated by hyperplane-distance pruning that aggressively eliminates low-probability spatial regions before scoring.
โฌก AeroCache โ Fault-Tolerant In-Memory Cache System
A ground-up implementation of a production-grade distributed caching system in Java, designed to match the correctness guarantees of enterprise-grade systems like Redis. Built without third-party concurrency libraries โ every synchronization primitive, eviction structure, and replication protocol is handcrafted and verified under concurrent load.
AeroCache was built as a systems correctness exercise: every component from the hash map to the replication log was written from scratch to deeply understand what production caches actually guarantee. The split-brain prevention mechanism uses monotonic epochs โ each master promotion increments a global epoch, and any node receiving writes from a lower epoch rejects them silently. This ensures that in a network partition scenario, only the highest-epoch master can commit writes, maintaining linearizability across cluster membership changes.
โฌก Sandboxed Algorithmic Judge & AI Code Reviewer
A production-hardened code evaluation platform that securely executes untrusted C++ and Python submissions inside fully isolated Docker sibling containers with Linux privilege dropping, combined with an LLM-powered static analysis layer that delivers architectural feedback and complexity reviews instantly to the user interface.
The security model uses Docker's SDK to spawn sibling containers โ processes are never executed on the host PID namespace. Each container has all Linux capabilities dropped (--cap-drop=ALL) with a strict seccomp profile, a read-only filesystem (except a mounted /tmp), and a hard CPU + memory cgroup ceiling. The async pipeline means the FastAPI gateway never blocks on execution: submissions are enqueued to Redis, Celery workers pop and execute them in isolated containers, and results are persisted to PostgreSQL. The frontend polls a status endpoint and renders AI feedback in markdown as soon as the LLM layer completes its analysis pass.
โฌก Pupil-Limbus Detector โ Clinical Eye Segmentation System
A clinical-grade computer vision system for precise pupil and limbus boundary detection, optimized for both real-time video streams and recorded clinical footage. Achieves sub-100ms inference latency through quantized ONNX export, with mean detection error within 2mm on clinical imaging datasets.
The system addresses a core challenge in clinical eye imaging: specular reflections from corneal surfaces corrupt pixel-level boundary detection. The multi-stage preprocessing pipeline first suppresses reflections using inpainting-guided masking, applies grayscale normalization calibrated for clinical lighting variability, and then applies ring-aware morphological preparation before segmentation. A secondary ring classifier disambiguates limbus-ring artifacts from true limbus boundaries at inference time. Temporal smoothing over a sliding window prevents frame-level jitter in live video, and ROI tracking locks the detection region between frames to avoid full-frame scanning overhead.
โฌก AI Surveillance Pipeline โ Women's Safety Harassment Detection (In Progress)
A real-time interpersonal harassment detection system built on YOLOv9 + SORT + LSTM, designed for edge-compatible deployment. Analyzes behavioral dynamics across sliding temporal windows and computes engineered spatial features per tracked person pair to trigger confidence-thresholded alerts.
The behavioral model operates on pair-wise dynamics rather than individual pose estimation: for each tracked person pair within a 30-frame window, three spatial features are computed โ normalized interpersonal distance (accounting for camera perspective), a hand intrusion score (detecting encroachment into a person's proximal space), and an arm-movement sync score (detecting mirroring, a behavioral indicator of coercive interaction). The ONNX-optimized LSTM classifies the sequence of these features and gates alert generation at 85% confidence. A privacy-preserving face-blurring layer is applied before any frame enters the inference pipeline, ensuring no identifiable facial data is processed or stored.
