About

I'm a third-year B.E. student in Information Science Engineering at Dayananda Sagar Academy of Technology & Management (DSATM), Bengaluru. I'm deeply passionate about competitive programming, data structures & algorithms, and building full-stack web applications.

I completed a software development internship at Innovkraft Inc, where I shipped features into internal SaaS products through everyday GitHub workflow. I'm an active competitive programmer on Codeforces, constantly sharpening my problem-solving skills through regular contests and practice.

I'm a core reviewer on Bernstein, the Apache-2.0 AI-agent governance and orchestration platform, and I contribute across open source more widely, including a merged fix in OpenAI's agents framework. The work I enjoy most is finding checks that quietly do not check — a CI job that goes green before the artifact exists, a test that skips on the platform it was written for, a lint that cannot fail.

I love building real-world projects that solve meaningful problems — from full-stack travel platforms to interactive web experiences. I'm always learning, exploring new technologies, and pushing myself to become a better engineer every day.

Open Source

Most of my open-source work is a single defect class: a check that reports success without actually checking — a workflow that passes before the artifact exists, a lint that cannot fail, a test that is skipped on the platform it was written for. Selected work below.

OpenAI · openai-agents-python

Merged fix in OpenAI's multi-agent framework.

#4457 — fix(realtime): truncate audio at zero elapsed time. Audio truncation computed a negative offset when no time had elapsed, so a turn interrupted immediately was cut at an invalid position

bernstein

Core reviewer (one of five) and code owner for the core and adapter packages. Apache-2.0 AI-agent governance and orchestration platform, 1.2k★, Python. Mostly CI, release automation, and test-integrity work.

#3999 — added a CI gate for pinned docs requirements. A reviewer proved my first version could never fail; I rewrote it and mutation-tested every flag to confirm the test actually bites
#3898 — the publish workflow verified releases against an API that reports availability before the artifact is downloadable, so the smoke tests could pass against a package that was not yet installable
#4089 — the release bump regenerated seven manifests but committed four, shipping stale version files. Replaced the hand-kept list with a derived constant plus a guard that fails when the two disagree
#4014 — workflow tooling emitted OS-native paths, producing backslashes on Windows. Fixed by choosing a type that cannot represent the wrong thing

copperhead

AI agent that designs and edits KiCad PCB projects from a prompt, 268★, TypeScript. Four merged PRs.

#120 — wrote the pasteable agent-install prompt: one line a user hands to their coding assistant to install, configure and verify copperhead for a repo. It is now the first install path the README recommends
#126 — six stage-completion checks accepted blank scaffold files and empty directories as done, so the create pipeline silently skipped stages on resume. Tightened every contract and covered each with a test
#51 — the test suite and CLI preflight assumed Unix: hardcoded mkdir -p and grep, Unix path assertions, and missing-executable detection that never saw Windows exit codes
#122 — power symbols from custom libraries were parsed as ordinary components, so their nets went missing

truthlog

VS Code extension that records the real exit code of every terminal command.

#12 — set up GitHub Actions CI from scratch and removed the hidden host dependencies that stopped the test suite running on a single machine
#7 — output truncation at maxOutputBytes could cut a multi-byte character in half, corrupting the recorded output
#9 — command history was ordered by when output finished draining rather than when the command ran, so entries appeared out of order

Projects ⁽³⁾

SANKHYA

Optimization solver for LP, MILP and convex QP, written in C++20 from mathematical foundations for Smart India Hackathon 2026 (SIH26119, Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals). Team project; cleared the internal round.

Revised primal and dual simplex over a sparse Markowitz LU with warm starts, an interior point with crossover to a vertex, branch and bound with reliability branching and MIR cuts, and a C API with Python bindings
Evidence pipeline: Netlib and MIPLIB runners, an independent solution verifier, and a cross-check against HiGHS. 80 of 89 Netlib instances verified to 1e-6 of the published optimum; every number on the site and in the docs is generated from a committed CSV
No third-party solver code anywhere in the tree, and a CI job that fails the build if a solver library ever appears in the binary
Also built the project site: static HTML, every figure named beside the CSV it came from

MindSpace+

Built a full-featured infinite-canvas note-taking application with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, featuring drag-and-drop sticky notes, mind-map connections, multi-board organization, and JSON/Markdown/image export.

Developed an infinite-canvas notes application supporting pan/zoom interactions, drag-and-resize sticky notes, and a custom SVG-based connection system for visualizing relationships between ideas
Implemented a multi-board workspace with persistent state management via localStorage, including custom React hooks for board/note CRUD operations
Built a rich-text editor (bold, italic, lists) and interactive checklist component from scratch using the contentEditable API and React state
Designed export/import functionality supporting JSON (full backup/restore), Markdown (structured outlines), and PNG image snapshots using html-to-image
