About
SHEET 3 / 7Inventor
I'm a Computer Engineering student working on artificial intelligence, software systems and real-world problem solving.
I take difficult ideas apart, understand how they work, rebuild them, and test them against reality. My interest is the system around the model: memory, state, verification, recovery.
I don't limit myself to one stack. If something needs to be learned, I learn it. If something needs to be built, I build it. If something breaks, I find out why.
Record of work
Jul 2024 – present
Bachelor of Engineering, Computer EngineeringSSASIT, Surat
Computer architecture, operating systems, compilers, algorithms, discrete mathematics and systems programming. Studying the machinery before trusting the abstractions.
Foundation: computer science fundamentals.
16 Jun – 10 Jul 2026
LeoAI companion OS and forensic architecture audit
Modelled an AI companion as an operating-system kernel with 43 cognitive subsystems and multi-tier memory. An automated audit found 281 direct-database calls bypassing the memory gateway, and showed that 297 passing mock tests hid 11 broken live integrations.
Architecture without automated enforcement rots into debt.
10 – 16 Jul 2026
VaniLocal-first cognitive OS with a 50-year horizon
No cloud infrastructure. Rejected LangChain for direct AIPort contracts, replaced a graph database with SQLite property tables, and built an AST guardian that makes layer violations fail the build.
Small protocols and mechanical invariants keep code alive for decades.
16 Jul 2026 – present
ÆONPersonal cognitive operating system, flagship
A 34-package uv monorepo. Audited the live system (first score 3/10), found and removed the vacuous-success bug, and cut local llama.cpp turn latency from 32.8 s to 5.4 s.
Persistent memory, truth boundaries and acyclic structure.
30 Aug 2026
SIH26117Air-gapped agentic workbench, Smart India Hackathon
An on-premise agentic workbench for confidential industrial sites: local Qwen models, an evidence-gated retrieval boundary, sandboxed execution and a workspace UI, built in a single sprint.
Months on a deep system, or one day under hard constraints.
Direction
SHEET 4 / 7Direction
Direction, not results. Where the work is heading.
- 10
Foundations
Mathematics, computer science, algorithms
Understand the underlying principles.
- 20
Intelligence
Machine learning, deep learning, LLMs
Understand how machines learn, represent, reason and generate.
- 30
Systems
Distributed systems, infrastructure, architecture
Turn intelligence into reliable computation.
- 40
Autonomy
Agents, memory, planning, tools, evaluation
Build systems capable of sustained execution.
- 50
Research
Experiments, new architectures, reinforcement learning
Move from implementing known ideas toward discovering better ones.
- 60
Creation
Products, research systems, companies
Turn difficult technical problems into systems that matter.
Read in order: each field rests on the one before it.
Method
SHEET 5 / 7
- 10
Understand
Break the problem down.
Work out the bounds, the requirements and the constraints before writing a line of code.
- 20
Learn
Find what I don't know.
Read the source, read the papers, and learn whatever the problem demands.
- 30
Architect
Design the simplest system that can work.
Explicit subsystem boundaries, written decision records, few dependencies, mechanical invariant gates.
- 40
Build
Turn the design into reality.
Strictly typed, modular code: kernels, event buses, schemas and interfaces.
- 50
Test
Try to break it.
Benchmark latency, provoke failure modes, and catch tests that pass against mocks only.
- 60
Improve
Fix what fails.
Remove vacuous successes, fix root causes, harden truth boundaries, repeat.
