    Full-stack developer, AI integrations

    • 8.69 CGPA
    • 2 hackathon podiums
    Ink sketch of a worn leather suitcase, an open pocket watch on its chain and a train ticket, ready to depart.

    I'm a third-year B.Tech student in Computer Science and Engineering at CSPIT, CHARUSAT. CGPA 8.69.

    I build web products in Next.js and TypeScript, and wire AI into them: voice agents, orchestration over MCP, and ranking models.

    I'm President of the TechGenius Club. As its Web Lead I built QuizzX, a quiz platform for 200+ concurrent users.

    Awards: 2nd at the IBM Hackathon (YieldGuard AI), 2nd among 100+ teams at Techathon (FormAI), Top 6 at the Chaos2Commit Hackathon (Vaani AI).

    Vaani AI

    An AI sales agent that picks up the phone.

    • 383 ms voice response
    • <1.5 s text-to-speech
    • Top 6 Chaos2Commit Hackathon
    Ink sketch of a ringing rotary telephone beside a speech bubble with a voice waveform, a pen and an open ledger with ticked boxes.

    Sales teams lose time on lead discovery, enrichment and first calls. Vaani handles all three: it finds leads, enriches them, and calls them with an AI voice agent.

    I built the Next.js frontend and the Supabase database, then tuned the voice pipeline on Twilio and Sarvam AI. Responses land in 383 ms, with text-to-speech under 1.5 s.

    I designed the post-call WhatsApp memo: after each call, Vaani writes one the lead can forward to the decision maker.

    It placed Top 6 at the Chaos2Commit Hackathon.

    YieldGuard AI

    Finding why chips fail, from wafer images and sensor data.

    • 2nd IBM Hackathon
    • 0.923 macro-F1 on WM-811K
    • 14 MCP tools
    Ink sketch of a silicon wafer under a magnifying glass, faulty dies marked with red crosses, next to a microscope.

    Yield-loss root-cause analysis in semiconductor fabs needs wafer images and sensor data together. I built YieldGuard, an AI orchestrator for exactly that.

    IBM Bob coordinates 14 YieldGuard tools over the Model Context Protocol, with Gemini for reasoning and a watsonx.ai Granite fallback.

    I trained a ResNet-style CNN on WM-811K that reached 0.923 macro-F1 and beat a Vision Transformer baseline. An Isolation Forest flags anomalies in SECOM sensor data.

    Vector search links each new defect to past root causes.

    It took 2nd place at the IBM Hackathon.

    Solar Lead Engine

    Which societies and factories should sales call first?

    • 96-97% est. accuracy, initial eval
    • 2 states: Maharashtra, Gujarat
    Ink sketch of factories and housing blocks with solar panels on their roofs, and a map with a dotted route between red pins.

    My SGP-II project for the solar industry. A solar farm company needs to know whom to contact first across two states, Maharashtra and Gujarat.

    I built a data-mining pipeline with LLM enrichment that scores and ranks outreach targets.

    I trained XGBoost and Logistic Regression classifiers on synthetic lead data. They reach an estimated 96-97% accuracy in initial evaluation.

    An evaluation pipeline and a ranking interface I built show the sales team who to call.

    SAHARA

    A search-and-rescue drone with Meta AI as co-pilot.

    • 0.84 SAM 3.1 smoke detection
    • 0.92 power line SAM missed, caught by Muse vision
    • RGB+IR day and night casualty detection
    Ink sketch of a quadcopter drone over collapsed buildings and smoke, its camera framing a survivor waving from the rubble.

    SAHARA is an autonomous drone that searches a disaster zone for survivors. It flies a grid over the area and spots casualties with RGB cameras by day and thermal by night, and a Flask dashboard shows the mission live.

    Meta's models do the thinking. Voice commands go to an AI Mission Commander, and the operator must confirm before the drone arms. SAM 3.1 segments hazards like smoke, Muse Spark vision acts as a second pair of eyes and triages from the air, and the mission ends with a SITREP.

    It runs in simulation on ArduPilot SITL, Gazebo and ROS 2 Humble. I built it for the Meta AI hackathon.

    Work Experience

    Software internship: payment flows in Next.js.

    • 5+ checkout workflows
    • ~25% lower checkout delay
    • ~40% less integration effort
    Ink sketch of a laptop showing a checkout page with a cart and a confirm button, with a receipt, a payment card and a coffee.

    Software Intern at MCT IT Solutions, Ahmedabad. I built payment workflow modules in Next.js and TypeScript, used across 5+ e-commerce checkouts.

    I tuned payment UI rendering and interaction flows. Checkout interaction delay dropped by an estimated 25%.

    I wrote reusable payment components that cut the effort of adding future payment features by about 40%.

    Next stop: your team?

    I don't have an internship lined up yet, and I'm actively looking.

    I'm open to SDE and AI engineering internships. If that sounds like your team, say hello.

    Ink sketch of an empty railway platform with a bench, a lamp and a blank station sign, the track curving away toward the sunrise.
