About

Software engineer and product builder who identifies real-world problems and ships end-to-end systems independently from architecture to deployment.

I build autonomous AI agents, multimodal edge-AI pipelines, and physics-informed ML models with strict anti-hallucination guardrails and data-leakage prevention. Combines rapid full-stack execution in TypeScript and Python with strong computer science and cybersecurity fundamentals.

UTIS

FeaturedBuilding

Urban Heat Island Geospatial AI & Grounded Copilot

Analyzed 7 years (2019 to 2025) of Landsat 8/9 and Sentinel-2 satellite imagery across 114 Nagpur wards to map persistent thermal hotspots and evaluate urban cooling scenarios. Built with a tool-calling AI copilot where LLM arithmetic is prohibited and all what-if queries execute a server-side regression model (ΔLST ∼ ΔNDVI + ΔNDBI).

Stack

  • Python + FastAPI
  • Google Earth Engine API
  • Tool-Calling LLMs (Groq / Gemini / OpenRouter)
  • Scikit-learn
  • Leaflet
