About

Engineer. Founder. Teacher.

I'm a Solutions Engineer at Infotech, where I sit between customers and engineering on enterprise migrations — and I build the internal AI tooling that makes our delivery faster and more reliable.

I co-created the internal AI pipeline behind that — built on GitHub Copilot skills, refined with GEPA — converting legacy desktop forms into our modern web platform and replacing a slow manual process (~50% faster, now rolling out across the team). I also partnered with a teammate to build the prompt-engineering environment that doubled our productivity.

Before engineering, I built things from zero: the first and top online Mridanga school in the world, and LiveGreen — an app later featured on the iOS App Store. That founder background is why I'm at home owning a room, a roadmap, or a customer relationship.

Things I've shipped

Internal AI pipeline @ Infotech

Co-created a multi-step AI pipeline (GitHub Copilot skills, refined with GEPA) that converts legacy desktop forms into our modern web platform — ~50% faster than the manual process, with better reliability. Now rolling out across the team.

#1

New Release on Amazon — first-ever Mridanga instruction book (then category Best Seller)

Co-founded LiveGreen — later featured on the iOS App Store (Earth Day 2019)

First-ever version control for our forms

Co-created automated Git version control for our form development — an OData + GitHub API integration that brought change history and review to a process that previously had none.

MIT

Applied Data Science certificate — GPA 4.0

Featured project

Customer-Support Triage Agent

An open-source multi-step agentic workflow: it classifies a ticket, retrieves grounded context from a Chroma vector store (RAG), drafts a reply, and evaluates its own confidence before sending — escalating to a human when it isn't sure. Vague tickets route to a ReAct sub-agent that gathers context with tools first. Every node emits a LangSmith trace.

The story

From rhythms to systems

2017 — 2021 · Founder

Mridanga Studios

Founded the first and top online school for the Mridanga — an Indian classical drum. 250+ students worldwide, six books, a Udemy course, 400k+ YouTube views, and a team of student instructors running 15–30 classes a week.

2017 — 2018 · Co-founder

LiveGreen

Designed the core experience of a sustainability app and negotiated its key data partnerships. The app was later featured on the iOS App Store for Earth Day 2019.

2020 — 2023 · B.S. Computer Science

University of Florida

3.9 GPA, Dean's List. Built a Turing-complete language, a memory manager, and a client-edge-server network along the way.

2022 — now · Solutions Engineer

Infotech

Customer-facing engineering on enterprise legacy modernization — and the place where I started building production AI tooling: an internal AI pipeline (GitHub Copilot skills, refined with GEPA) that converts legacy desktop forms into our modern web platform, plus a prompt-engineering environment that changed how we work.

2025 · Certificate

MIT — Applied Data Science

GPA 4.0. Doubled down on the ML foundations under the production AI work.
