About Me

I'm a third-year Computer Science student at CUSAT (Cochin University of Science and Technology), passionate about robotics and software development. With a CGPA above 9, I'm actively learning Robot Operating System (ROS) and Data Structures & Algorithms in Java, backend by a strong foundation in Object-Oriented Programming.

I have Solved 100+ programming problems across various platforms like LeetCode, GeekforGeeks, Hackerrank etc.

Current Focus

  • Software Team Member at Horizon Mars Rover, CUSAT.
  • Active Member of IEEE Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence.
  • Developing expertise in ROS, full stack and robotics programming.
  • Embedded Intern @ Brainspired Labs

Beyond Tech

Outside of programming, I enjoy solving Rubik's Cube (3x3 & 2x2), reading books, playing cricket, and exploring new places.
