B.Tech Computer Science student at VIT Chennai, Founder at KaptaanLM Research Labs & mySphere, and Former AI/ML Intern at the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
My work spans foundation language models, distributed training, cloud infrastructure, and systems engineering. I am building KaptaanLM Research Labs (kaptaanlm.tech) as a platform to conduct, develop, and openly document my independent AI/ML research, focusing on the architecture and distributed pre-training of high-parameter-density small language models (the KaptaanLM family and the Qwen3.5-adapted QaptaanLM-0.75B), large-scale dataset engineering (KapCode-1B, KapInstruct-100M), and local LLM operating systems (InferenceOS).
In parallel, through mySphere (mysphere.co.in), I architect and ship scalable distributed cloud infrastructure, autonomous agentic platforms, and developer tooling serving 170K+ monthly edge requests and 94K+ page views across live portals. Key systems include myCloud (a distributed personal cloud decoupling metadata from storage nodes with CLI, SDK, and multi-platform clients), myTrade (an autonomous multi-agent market intelligence platform powered by a 40+ LLM consensus jury), low-power edge server infrastructure (Mobile VPS), developer subdomain & DNS management (myDomain), real-time WebRTC mesh sync (mySync), and computer vision streaming systems (myCam).
At IMD, I worked on AI-driven weather forecasting systems, contributing to the fine-tuning, distributed scaling, and optimization of deep learning models trained on large-scale atmospheric datasets, alongside developing Agentic AI weather assistants with RAG.
Beyond research and venture development, I actively build open-source machine learning systems, multimodal sensor fusion interfaces (Sign Language Interpreter), and high-performance computing pipelines. My goal is to bridge the gap between frontier AI research and reliable, production-grade applications.
