About

I'm a third-year Computer Science & Engineering (Cyber Security) student with a 9.53 CGPA, currently a Project Intern at Samsung PRISM / Samsung R&D Institute India. My work spans deep learning research, full-stack engineering, and applied security.

I like problems where the whole stack matters — training and distilling a 254.8M-param vision-language model down to run on-device, writing a Rubik's cube solver from scratch that averages near God's number, or shipping a DNS threat-intelligence platform mapped to MITRE ATT&CK. I care about correctness, measurement, and things that actually run.

Experience

Project Intern — Samsung PRISM

Dec 2025 — Present

Samsung R&D Institute India · Bengaluru

Developing EmoCapNet, a 254.8M-param multimodal vision-language model for 7-class emotion-aware image captioning — fusing ViT-Base + GPT-2 via cross-attention and VAD-FiLM conditioning with multi-task learning on a 67K-caption emotion-augmented Flickr30k corpus.
Distilled the teacher into a TinyCLIP-ViT + DistilGPT-2 student (112.5M params, 2.3× smaller); achieved METEOR 22.1, CIDEr 0.363, and emotion-controllability correlation r = 0.81.
Engineered on-device deployment via INT8 dynamic quantization (custom Conv1D→Linear rewrite), compressing ~1GB → 153MB (6.7×); built greedy KV-cache decoding from scratch (524ms/caption CPU) with an ONNX/TorchScript export path.

Smart Course Generator

May 2026 — Jun 2026

Full-stack AI learning platform that generates structured multi-module courses and streams them lesson-by-lesson over SSE, with adaptive quizzes, flashcards, and an AI-scored mock-interview mode. Custom multi-provider AI router (Gemini → Groq → OpenRouter) with per-provider circuit breakers, backoff retries, and key rotation; quality made measurable via an LLM-as-judge eval harness in CI.

Rubik's Cube Studio

Apr 2026 — May 2026

Implemented Kociemba's two-phase algorithm from scratch in TypeScript (cubie model, coordinate reduction, pruning tables, IDA* search) — averaging ~20.6 moves (God's number is 20) at 100% correctness across 1,500+ cubes. Runs in a Web Worker to drive a stutter-free Three.js 3D animation, with webcam cube scanning via an HSV pipeline. 66 unit tests + Playwright E2E.

DNSentinel — DNS Threat Intelligence

Jun 2026 — Jul 2026

Full-stack DNS threat-detection platform (Manifest V3 Chrome extension telemetry) classifying DGA, tunneling, exfiltration, and C2 beaconing via a 22-feature Random Forest + Isolation Forest ensemble. Adaptive risk engine (µ + k·σ thresholding) drives a SOAR auto-block/sinkhole layer mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, streamed to a SOC dashboard over SSE. Validated over 25 real DGA families with SHAP-explained PDF reports.
