Gesture-Controlled Virtual Mouse
A college project that swaps the mouse for your hand — a live camera feed reads finger positions and gestures and translates them into cursor movement and clicks.

Assistant Systems Engineer, Tata Consultancy Services
I'm a Computer Science graduate who likes keeping systems healthy — patching, testing and debugging applications by day, and building small, slightly unnecessary tools like a gesture-controlled mouse by night.

About
I graduated in 2025 with a B.Tech in Computer Science from Pillai College of Engineering, and I've spent the time since figuring out how the two halves of software actually meet: the code, and the infrastructure it runs on. At TCS, that means patching, performance-testing and debugging real production applications. Before that, an internship at TCiA Global had me provisioning AWS and Azure resources and managing client websites — my first real taste of infrastructure other people actually depended on.
Outside of work I'm usually building something smaller and slightly stranger — a virtual mouse that reads hand gestures through a webcam was one of my favourite college projects. Lately I've also been poking around networking fundamentals and the basics of ethical hacking, mostly to understand systems from the other side.

Projects
A mix of coursework, hackathons and things I built because I was curious.
Predictive ML Models
Two prediction models — one estimating house prices from location, size and amenities, another assessing vehicle health from sensor data — both built with regression and random-forest algorithms.
NLP Model for Anxiety & Depression Detection
Built an NLP model to help identify anxiety and depression signals in text — a chance to apply data science to a sensitive, genuinely useful problem.
Smart Yoga Mat
Built the Android app interface for an AI-integrated smart yoga mat with my Smart India Hackathon team — sensor-based posture detection with real-time feedback.
Insomnia-Assist Concept
Analyzed the architecture for an AI and sensor-based concept to help people with insomnia at the Techgium (L&T) Hackathon, and helped integrate its automation and app-based controls.
