About Me

I'm a final-year Computer Science student at Nirma University and a Software Engineer at MAQ Software, where I focus on building AI-powered developer tools and productivity systems.

My work spans local LLM inference, full-stack web platforms, and agentic AI workflows. I love the intersection of developer experience and machine intelligence — making complex systems feel effortless for the people who use them.

Outside of work, I compete in hackathons, contribute to open-source projects, and experiment with lightweight LLMs on consumer hardware.
