About Me

Mechatronics → Code → Security

I'm a final-year B.E. Computer Science (Cybersecurity) student at Saveetha Engineering College, Chennai — graduating 2026. My unique background starts with a Diploma in Mechatronics Engineering (81% First Class with Distinction) at TVS CPAT, giving me rare cross-domain hardware + software thinking that most engineers never develop.

From the IBM Z Datathon 2025 national 2nd place (Heart MRI AI on IBM Mainframe) to IEEE-published research on AI-powered security systems, I build production-grade work that solves real problems — not just academic demos.

Currently deepening expertise in LLM fine-tuning (Gemma3 + JAX), cloud-native security architectures, and adaptive threat detection. My mission: build AI systems that don't just defend — they adapt and outthink attackers.
