I like building things that sit where hard problems meet real people: markets, money, security.

I’m a 2026 B.Tech graduate in Computer Science & Business Systems from Meghnad Saha Institute of Technology. Over four years I moved from smart contracts and cryptography to machine learning and full-stack products, and I’ve shipped something end to end in each.

My final-year project, STOCK AI, forecasts stock prices with statistical, ML and deep-learning models, reads live financial news with FinBERT, and presents the results through an AI-avatar newsroom. Before that I built a DeFi lending protocol, a multi-chain NFT platform and an ML-powered forensics assistant for Smart India Hackathon.

I’m a Google Cloud Certified Associate Cloud Engineer, I use Claude Code and Codex every day, and I’m sharpening my DSA in C++. I’m looking for my first software engineering role, and I can start immediately.
