Backend & AI Engineer
FDE Intern @ CallKaro · open to backend & AI roles
I'm a backend and AI engineer. At STMicroelectronics, I built embedded AI firmware for STM32 microcontrollers and real-time computer vision pipelines. Before that, I shipped fintech backend APIs at Rudescore and did IT support work at JK Technosoft.
I work across Python, TypeScript, and C/C++, from clinical ML systems with SHAP explainability and RAG pipelines to Discord bot plugins and npm packages with a few hundred combined stars.
I've taken 1st place at two hackathons: CodeSlayer 2k25 (DevSphere India, NIT Delhi) with a Pathway AI due diligence copilot, and Fintechstico V7.0 at NSUT in October 2026 with Two Strands, an engine that scores scams and loan default risk for the same customer. I'm currently pursuing a B.Tech in CSE with an AI/ML specialization at Maharishi Dayanand University.
work experience.
Joined the deployment team at a Voice AI startup whose agents handle customer calls and WhatsApp in 20+ languages, owning client onboarding from discovery calls to go-live. Write and iterate on LLM prompts for voice-agent personas and call flows, including Hindi and Hinglish calls, debug live deployments from call logs and transcripts, and build Python scripts and API integrations connecting the platform to client CRMs and workflows.
Engineered low-power embedded AI firmware on STM32U5 microcontrollers with X-CUBE-AI, X-CUBE-MEMS1, and NanoEdge AI Studio, deploying on-device data loggers and anomaly detection models. Built a real-time computer vision system for Tic-Tac-Toe on an STM32MP257 microprocessor running OpenSTLinux, using YOLO11 for state classification, and programmed the game engine and serial communication drivers to coordinate moves with a physical robotic arm.
Built and optimized backend APIs in TypeScript for a high-performance fintech application. Redesigned the PostgreSQL schema for a core feature, cutting query times enough that the team noticed, and used Prisma ORM for type-safe queries with zero-downtime migrations while coordinating with PMs and frontend engineers on feature planning.
Provided IT support across 50+ corporate employees in the General & Administration department, resolving daily tickets covering hardware provisioning, system access control, and network connectivity, while maintaining Active Directory accounts and documenting recurring issues to reduce repeat tickets.

Fintechstico V7.0
@ Consilium'26, NSUT · NSUT Delhi
Two Strands: scam detection and loan risk in one engine
PS3: AI-Powered Financial Scam Detection & Loan Risk Management
- •Won 1st place with Team Syntax Terrors at an offline fintech hackathon at NSUT, out of 3,093 registrations.
- •Banks run scam detection and loan risk as separate departments, even though a scam often ends in a missed EMI. Two Strands scores both for the same customer and wires them together: a scam hit raises repayment risk, and debt stress puts the account on mule watch.
- •Live scam scoring with LightGBM and coercion rules, a mule-ring graph with GraphSAGE, and days-to-default prediction with a survival model. Every alert comes with SHAP reasons and a plain case note in English or Hindi.
- •Built on FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Redis Streams, with a React analyst console and a Kotlin Android payment app that reads call state during a payment.
CodeSlayer 2k25
@ DevSphere India · NIT Delhi
Due Diligence Copilot — AI Assistant
Track 2: Due Diligence Copilot (Pathway AI)
- •Won 1st place with Team Deadbits out of 10,562 teams. Our track: build an AI assistant for investors doing M&A due diligence.
- •Built a RAG pipeline using Pathway AI and FAISS that answers questions from live data rooms (financials, contracts, cap tables) and updates in real-time as new documents arrive.
- •FastAPI backend handled document uploads and vector similarity search; the system cited sources and exported summaries for investor review.

One week into an FDE internship at CallKaro, a Voice AI startup. Less writing features, more making an AI agent survive a real customer's phone line.
Lok Sabha Tracker: Building a Status Docket for 543 MPs
Built over the CJP protests that pushed out India's education minister. A public record of what every Lok Sabha MP is actually doing, verified and updated daily.
ArUco Marker Navigation for Robots on STM32
Print a marker, stick it on a wall, point a camera at it, and the robot drives itself there. No joystick, no remote, no pre-mapped path.
OmniRoute: Fixing Claude Code's Rate Limit Problem
Five minutes to set up, and the fallback actually works. Hit my quota mid-session and it switched providers without me noticing.
Cheap Robot Positioning Without LiDAR
Mecanum wheels slip constantly, so encoders lie. LiDAR costs $300+. Two cheap sensors do the job for about $5.
