June 2025 - now
- Supporting a 500+ student course covering logic, proofs, set theory, and number theory.
- Designed and administered weekly quizzes and collaborated with faculty and TAs to develop and refine grading rubrics, ensuring consistent and fair grading across 500+ assignments and exams per week
- Mentored 100+ students through office hours, exam review sessions, and 1:1 guidance, leading to a 10~15% improvement in average grades.
- Developed and deployed a full-stack inventory management platform used by 50+ artists, integrating with the Squarespace API to streamline artwork submissions by cutting upload time by 70%
- Built a backend using Express.js + MongoDB, and a responsive frontend with React, deploying on Google Cloud App Engine for scalability.
- Facilitated the sale of $10,000+ worth of artwork, through this platform, directly contributing to Amarii’s mission of creating economic opportunities for underrepresented artists
- Collaborated with non-profit leadership to gather requirements and implement features, working in an agile environment with end-to-end ownership of deliverables.
Projects
- Engineered a developer tool that protects secrets (like API keys) using a public-key cryptography system, making them safe to commit while maintaining integrity across machines and CI pipelines.
- Built a PyNaCl, Argon2id, Click and Rich powered CLI along with a Next.js + TypeScript dashboard powered by WebCrypto, Supabase Auth, Tailwind, and PostgreSQL to implement client-side encryption and efficient key rotation.
- Performs all encryption on-device so plaintext secrets never touch servers, helping teams securely store, rotate, and share secrets while reducing the risk of leaks and streamlining onboarding and deployments.
Technologies:
- Built a doctor facing AI assistant using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) with LLMs, delivering context-aware medical insights, with ∼ 5s latency, and reducing time spent researching complex queries by 70%.
- Engineered scalable retrieval pipelines with MongoDB Atlas Vector Search, ensuring reliable access to large volumes of medical data
- Awarded “Best Overall Implementation of MongoDB” out of 150+ projects at HackGT 11, recognizing technical innovation and execution.
Technologies:
- Created a web app and a ManifestV3 Chrome extension that delivered counterpoint perspectives on news articles, helping users reduce confirmation bias, reaching 500+ early users during pilot testing.
- Engineered an AI-driven pipeline that scraped content, generated targeted queries, and surfaced diverse sources, producing counterpoint recommendations with a 30% higher diversity score than baseline Google searches
- Featured in the Times of India (audience of 10M+ readers), boosting project visibility and sparking discussions on balanced media consumption.
Technologies:
- Built a React + TypeScript + Tailwind frontend integrated with a Flask backend for real-time claim validation.
- Developed multimodal AI verification using Gemini Flash 2.0 & Llama 3 for fraud detection in insurance claims.
- Ensured seamless UI/UX for insurers & homeowners, reducing claim verification time significantly.
