Logs from the Build

Every milestone, a mindset shift. Every project, a reflection of growth.

🎮

2012–2014

Gamer First, Builder Later

Assassin's Creed, Hitman, GTA, FIFA, Flight Sim

🧠Games were my first gateway into tech — I didn't just play, I questioned how they worked.

💻

2014

First Lines of Code – 8th Grade

School Computer Lab

🧠Seeing my code run felt like magic — until I broke it. Then it felt like a puzzle.

🧭

2016–2019

Exploration Mode

12th Board Exams
Road trips

My Stacks & Projects

A selection of projects that showcase my passion for building modern applications and tools.

Study Buddy: AI RAG Tutor

React.jsFastAPIChromaDBLangChain

Born at the UC Berkeley AI Hackathon, Study Buddy evolved from a document-aware chatbot to a fully immersive AI tutor. Users upload materials, trigger hybrid semantic search, and receive streaming responses from a fine-tuned Gemma2:9b model. I integrated Hume AI's Empathic Voice Interface, enabling spoken responses that adapt tone based on emotional context. Learners don't just read; they feel the explanations.

CreateFlow: Multi-Agent Content Engine

LLaMA3 8BLangGraphReact.jsPostgreSQL

At CalHacks 11.0, I built a platform linking specialized AI agents with LangGraph to automate the content lifecycle. It crafts content, schedules posts with LinkedIn insights, and tracks metrics. I fine-tuned LLaMA3 8B with LoRA to ensure relevance, showing how AI agents can collaborate like a real team.

Fillr: Auto Apply Jobs with AI Agents

PythonSeleniumPuppeteerDocker

Fillr automates job applications using browser automation and AI (Gemini) to generate tailored answers for open-ended questions. It includes guardrails like rate limiting and intelligent error handling. With queue management and manual review flags, Fillr combines speed and accuracy.

InsureSearch: AI Insurance Assistant

Next.jsFlaskLlama3Together.ai

Built for the Llama 3 Hackathon, InsureSearch is an AI assistant that helps students understand complex insurance policies. It supports both default university documents and user-uploaded files, using Llama3 and advanced NLP to deliver precise, document-based responses. The solution is especially helpful for international students and demonstrates versatile applications in law and finance.
