About me

I am an aspiring undergraduate researcher from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur interested in AI, Robotics, and IoT. As the Project Lead for Steel Eye, I developed a real-time ladle tracking system for steel plants and led a team to the national finals of the Smart India Hackathon 2023. I've contributed to research with publications in areas like Entity Augmentation in Vertical Federated Learning and Data Compression for the Constrained Web of Things.

I am an enterprising engineer with a strong passion for continuous learning. I actively explore emerging technologies by reading research papers, and blogs, and staying updated on advancements in IoT, reinforcement learning, robotics, computer vision, and brain-computer interfaces (BCI). My drive to learn and adapt enables me to bring innovative solutions to the projects I lead and collaborate on.
