Cloud Infrastructure & Distributed Systems

B.Tech Computer Science student at VIT Chennai, Founder & Lead Developer at mySphere, and AI/ML Intern at the India Meteorological Department (IMD).

My interests lie at the intersection of cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, artificial intelligence, and software engineering. As the founder of mySphere, I design and develop scalable software products ranging from distributed personal cloud infrastructure and cross-platform applications to AI-powered and financial technology systems. My work involves backend engineering, cloud-native architectures, system design, DevOps, and secure application development.

At IMD, I work on AI-driven weather forecasting systems, contributing to the development, fine-tuning, and optimization of deep learning models trained on large-scale atmospheric datasets. My experience includes model inference, distributed training, high-performance computing (HPC), data engineering, and the development of Agentic AI applications powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Beyond research and product development, I enjoy building systems that combine backend engineering, machine learning, cloud technologies, and real-world problem solving. My goal is to create scalable, reliable, and impactful technology that bridges the gap between research and practical applications.
