ABOUT
An MS Dual Degree student in Computational Natural Sciences at IIIT Hyderabad, where my world revolves around the beautiful chaos of computing. I work as an Undergraduate Researcher under Professor Vinod P K, exploring the intersection of systems biology and deep learning.
A builder at heart. Physics & mathematics are my playground. My interests span the whole computing spectrum — from the low-level logic of kernels & operating systems to the high-dimensional latent spaces of deep learning.
When I'm not debugging a segfault or training a model, you'll find me gaming, watching anime, on the basketball court, or — inevitably — hopping to yet another Linux distro.

VIEW ALL PROJECTSNatsuki
Hybrid BM25 + dense retrieval search engine built from scratch (no IR library dependency), with a LambdaMART learned reranker and LLM query expansion on top. Validated end-to-end on BEIR/SciFact against real relevance judgments — each stage (bm25 < dense < hybrid < rerank) shows a clean, honestly-measured improvement, including an A/B test where query expansion was found to hurt more than it helped.
Apollo
Event-driven, temporal enterprise knowledge graph with an agentic workspace on top. Watches an issue tracker and wiki via webhooks, extracts entities with an LLM, resolves them against a canonical graph, and writes bi-temporal facts to Neo4j — every edge knows both when it became true and when Apollo learned it. An MCP server enforces an unbypassable permission filter over every graph query.
Pairs Trader
Modular statistical arbitrage engine for NSE equities. Cointegration-based pair selection (Engle-Granger plus PCA/DBSCAN clustering), a rolling-OLS or Kalman-filter spread model, z-score or XGBoost-gated signals, and a bar-by-bar backtester with transaction costs — exposed via CLI, an interactive TUI, and a set of guided notebooks, backed by 112 tests.
Strat Backtester
Pluggable options backtesting engine for NSE index derivatives (NIFTY, BANKNIFTY) built on a month of tick data. Ships a Streamlit dashboard, PDF tearsheet export, and a full risk-metrics suite — Sharpe with bootstrap confidence intervals, VaR/CVaR, drawdown analysis, and more — with strategies plugging into a common BaseStrategy interface.
Cuffka — Kafka with Raft
A ground-up reimplementation of Apache Kafka in Go: a distributed pub-sub message broker backed by a Raft-based controller quorum (KRaft-inspired) with automatic leader election, append-only partitioned commit logs, and consumer-group coordination. Ships a full admin CLI for topic management, producing, and consuming — built directly from the original Kafka and Raft papers.
AIshA
Unix shell implementation in C with integrated Gemini AI capabilities. Features include natural language command translation, command explanation, AI chat, custom readline implementation using termios (no ncurses), 40+ built-in commands, job control, background process management, and tab completion. Built entirely with POSIX APIs and raw OpenSSL sockets for HTTPS without external dependencies.
