Built at one desk.

I build whole products, not slices of them — and I would rather own the hard parts than hand them off.

I'm a full-stack engineer based in Pondicherry. I like the whole arc of a product: the schema, the server, the interface, the deploy, and the unglamorous admin panel someone has to use every day.

Most of what I've built, I've built alone — which means I've had to be decisive about architecture and honest about trade-offs. Ani Bakes runs React 19 on TanStack Start with Appwrite and Razorpay. AARRKKAA runs Prisma and Postgres behind the same stack. Velocity is a Node service with a Flutter client on top.

On my own machine I build the tools I want to use: a voice assistant with a local three-tier brain, a Linux app for headphones whose protocol I reverse-engineered from the Android app, and my own KDE Plasma widgets, from a Material You control center to a Quick Look for Dolphin.

The other half of my work is applied NLP. My postgraduate research tackled abstractive summarisation in Tamil, a low-resource language where off-the-shelf models lose the names that make a news story mean anything. I fine-tuned mT5 with PEFT and wired NER in to hold those entities in place.
