About Me

Who I am

I'm an AI undergrad at SVNIT Surat who thrives at the intersection of research and engineering. I've published NLP research at international ACL venues, won national hackathons, and shipped production software used in real stores.

On the research side, my focus is Indic NLP — grammatical error correction, word grouping, and low-resource language modeling. On the engineering side, I build full-stack products with Next.js, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL, and ship fast.

I'm an executive at the ACM Student Chapter and co-head Mindbend at NIT Surat, two communities I actively contribute to beyond the classroom.
