About

I’m an undergraduate at NITK Surathkal with a passion for software development and Data Science. I love solving real-world problems using creative solutions and smart algorithms. My projects include CineMatch, a movie recommendation system, an Interactive Cricket Game with Python and Pygame, a chatbot for casual conversations and math queries, and a shopping website with an engaging front-end design.

Leading events in NSS and INCIDENT has strengthened my Leadership, teamwork and organizational skills, while being a state-level chess player has taught me strategic thinking and problem-solving. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and build impactful solutions that make a difference.
