    Hackathon

    Hackathon Builder

    2024 — Present

    Multiple events

    Building fast with strangers, which is the best forcing function for scoping and demoing I know.

    • Led teams to shipping working demos in 24–48 hours
    • Focused on sharp demos over broad feature sets
    • Met collaborators who became long-term friends

    Education

    Computer Engineering Student

    2023 — 2027

    University

    Studying computer engineering with a focus on AI/ML systems, distributed computing, and software architecture.

    • Core coursework in DS&A, OS, networks, and ML
    • Built side projects that became open source
    • Teaching assistantships in data structures
    CSEMLSystems
    Project

    First Open Source PR

    2023

    Developer tools

    My first merged contribution — a documentation fix that taught me more about maintainers than any tutorial.

    • Learned the contribution workflow
    • Committed to tiny, well-documented PRs
    • Started writing issues that explained problems

    Next

    Future goals

    Where the next few years are pointed: shipping ML infrastructure that other engineers trust.

    • Deepen distributed training and serving work
    • Grow Tatvik and AutoDevs into adopted projects
    • Write more — systems notes, essays, and docs

    Research

    Computer Vision Researcher

    2024 — 2025

    Retail Shelf Intelligence

    Independently researched and built a shelf-monitoring system, from dataset creation to deployment, and wrote up the findings.

    • Collected and labelled a 2,400-image shelf dataset
    • Reached 87.4% mAP@0.5 on the custom dataset
    • Documented lessons that other CV builders cite
