About
A curious builder exploring complex systems
CS undergraduate at SRMIST researching quantum machine learning. I've shipped a top-2% Google Prompt Wars platform, post-quantum crypto tools, photogrammetry pipelines, and production websites — not because I've found my niche, but because I haven't stopped being curious.

PROJECT 001 / 009
CarbonSense
AI-Powered Carbon Footprint Platform
A carbon intelligence cockpit built for Google Prompt Wars 2026, where it ranked #727 of 35,548 entries. TERRA, a Gemini-powered coach, sits on top of a 3D Planet Twin rendered in React Three Fiber, receipt OCR, and an optimization engine that finds up to 40% emission-reduction pathways.
The carbon math is deterministic TypeScript spread across 7 packages with 258 passing unit tests — AI is deliberately confined to reasoning and OCR, never calculations. Supabase handles auth with JWT and row-level security.

Can a shallow quantum circuit match a Random Forest?
Jan 2026 – Present · SRMIST — Dept. of Computing Technologies · SUPERVISOR: DR. MANJU A
I'm building a binary classifier for forest-fire detection with Variational Quantum Circuits in PennyLane, benchmarked head-to-head against Logistic Regression and Random Forest baselines on environmental sensor data. The current focus is encoding — comparing amplitude and angle encoding to see how each shapes expressibility and generalization on tabular datasets.
