The Story
Behind the Work

From a small town to IISc Bengaluru โ€” driven by curiosity and code.

2027
B.Tech Biotech

I didn't get the branch everyone wants โ€” no CSE, no AIDS, no CyS. I got Biotechnology. But I made a decision: my department wouldn't define my ceiling.

While studying life sciences, I taught myself Python, machine learning, deep learning, web development, bioinformatics โ€” and built real tools that actually work. Not tutorials. Real systems.

That journey took me to IISc Bengaluru as a Research Intern, where I worked on Alzheimer's detection using gene expression data under Dr. K. Sekar โ€” one of India's top research institutions.

I also founded New Star Infosis โ€” a startup delivering AI, ML, and web solutions to students and organizations at accessible rates. Because good technology shouldn't be gated by money.

I'm in my element at the intersection of biology and AI โ€” where a protein structure becomes a dataset and a disease becomes a solvable problem.
