MERN Stack Developer & AI Engineer

I build AI-powered products that ship — not just prototypes.

MERN stack developer with a growing focus on AI agents and LLM integrations. In the last year alone I've shipped 5+ full-stack products — from an industrial safety platform used to catch risk before shift changeovers, to a KiCad plugin now merged into an official open-source repo. I care about code that actually reaches production, not just demos.

About

About Me

I'm a MERN stack developer who builds real, working products — not just tutorials or clones. Over the past year, I've shipped an AI-powered industrial safety platform, a Chrome extension that turns meeting transcripts into tracked commitments, and a KiCad plugin now officially merged into FOSSEE's open-source repository and used by the wider design community.

I'm currently a Summer Fellowship Intern at FOSSEE, IIT Bombay, where I engineered a FastAPI + Kubernetes microservice that replaced a single shared server with isolated, auto-scaling per-user environments. Before that, my dependency-checker CLI tool was the screening task that got me selected into the program in the first place.

Alongside solo builds, I've also worked on collaborative AI projects spanning computer vision (terrain intelligence for disaster response) and deep learning (plant disease detection for farmers) — comfortable owning a project end to end or working as part of a team.

Currently pursuing my B.Tech in Computer Science at VIT Bhopal University (9.13 CGPA), in my final year.

Summer Fellowship Intern — FOSSEE, IIT Bombay

Selected for the FOSSEE Summer Fellowship 2026 under the eSim domain at IIT Bombay — a competitive, invite-only program at India's premier engineering institute.
Engineered a FastAPI-based Session Manager microservice for eSim Cloud, replacing a single shared Django+NGSPICE setup with isolated, auto-scaling per-user Kubernetes pods.
Implemented full pod lifecycle management with the Kubernetes Python client and Redis (TTL-based idle cleanup), containerized with Docker, and validated with 11 passing unit tests as part of an Agile, sprint-based workflow.
Debugged and resolved real deployment issues, including a Kubernetes pod-naming conflict and a cross-platform Docker volume mounting failure.

Semester Long Project Intern — FOSSEE, IIT Bombay

Built the PCB Manufacturability Risk Analyzer, a Python-based KiCad plugin now officially merged into the open-source FOSSEE eSim-KiCad-Plugin repository and used by designers across the community (Official Report).
Integrated with the KiCad pcbnew API to automatically detect thermal hotspots, EMI risks, routing congestion, and current-capacity issues — catching design flaws early, before costly hardware iterations.
Authored and submitted a research paper, "PCB Manufacturability Risk Analyzer: A KiCad Plugin for Early Detection of Design Flaws," to an academic conference (under review).

Projects

Shift Zero

AI industrial safety platform. India sees 6,500+ fatal industrial accidents annually, most within 2 hours of shift changeover — built an autonomous LLM agent that scores risk in handover notes against live sensor data. Custom RAG pipeline, automated Permit-to-Work checks, multi-tenant auth.

MeetingMind

AI mentor accountability platform. Mentors managing 100+ students were manually tracking commitments in Excel — built a Chrome extension that listens to live Meet captions per-speaker and extracts structured commitments in real time, with maker-checker verification and role-scoped access.

PCB Manufacturability Risk Analyzer

A KiCad plugin, officially merged into the open-source FOSSEE eSim-KiCad-Plugin repository, that analyzes PCB designs for manufacturing risk. Generates trace-density, thermal, and EMI heatmaps, flags hotspots and routing issues, and outputs an auto-generated 0–100 manufacturability score with fix suggestions.

TerrainIQ — AI Terrain Intelligence System

A collaborative group project. An AI-powered terrain segmentation system for law enforcement, emergency response, and disaster rescue — uses a U-Net (ResNet34) model to convert terrain images into mobility intelligence, with risk scoring, vehicle suitability analysis, and drone surveillance modules.

PlantCare AI — Plant Disease Detection

A collaborative group project. A CNN-based deep learning system trained on the PlantVillage dataset that detects plant diseases from leaf images in real time, with Grad-CAM heatmaps, severity assessment, weather correlation, and a multi-language Streamlit dashboard for farmers and agricultural professionals.

eSim Automated Tool Manager

Screening task for the FOSSEE Semester Long Internship — an OS-independent tool manager for eSim that checks dependencies for Ngspice, KiCad, Scilab, and Verilator across Windows, Linux, and macOS, with a clean CLI interface and logging. This submission led to my selection for the internship.
