Where I've Been & How I Think

I'm an Information Technology undergraduate in Chennai who likes building software, experimenting with AI workflows, and figuring out what makes products actually useful.

Timeline

Experience & Education

Product & Development Intern

Mar 2026 — Jul 2026
ForMen Digital Clinic — Remote

I worked on a healthcare product from research through implementation. I built an AI tool that reads complicated men's health blood reports and explains them in plain English so patients don't panic.

Breakdown & Key Learnings

What I actually did

  • Talked through the core problem before writing any code
  • Worked on the PRD to figure out what actually mattered
  • Designed parts of the user experience
  • Built the actual product
  • Iterated based on what was (and wasn't) working

Biggest Takeaway

Building something is easy compared to deciding what should be built.

Certificate Program — Product Management & Agentic AI

Apr 2025 — Oct 2025
IIT Patna × Masai (Vishlesan i-Hub Foundation)

A six-month program where we researched an idea and shipped an MVP. I spent most of my time setting up AI agent workflows with n8n and LLMs.

NPTEL Elite Certification — Big Data Computing

Completed Oct 2025
SWAYAM–NPTEL · IIT Kanpur

A course where I learned the basics of distributed processing and how large-scale data systems actually work.

Undergraduate Degree

B.Tech, Information Technology

Vel Tech High Tech Engineering College, Chennai

Jun 2024 — May 2028 (Expected)
Principles

How I Approach Building Things

01

Talk through the problem first

Building something is easy compared to deciding what should be built. I prefer sketching out user flows and talking through edge cases before jumping straight to code.

02

Make it work out of the box

Tools shouldn't be dead weight until you hand over an API key or credit card. Products should offer immediate value for free, with advanced options as optional upgrades.

03

Security by architecture, not trust

Whether it's isolating user tables with PostgreSQL Row-Level Security or processing health reports client-side with OCR, privacy should be structurally enforced.

04

Learn by breaking things

I don't pretend to know everything upfront. I prototype quickly, see where the system bottlenecks or crashes, and iterate until it runs smoothly and reliably.

Looking for a Product / Dev Intern?

I'm available for Summer 2026 internships where I can ship real software.
