Bekaert AGV — Chassis, Drive & Telemetry Platform
Hardware and electrical design for a 90 kg four-wheel AGV: motor, driver and battery sizing, encoder-closed-loop wheel-speed sync on STM32, and the live operator dashboard that runs the platform.
Backend & distributed-systems engineer. Two internships at Genxa Solutions shipped a sub-200ms p50 WebRTC SDK and a voice platform running 2.3K concurrent calls/day at 99.9% uptime; co-architected the CAD validation engine for ISGEC Heavy Engineering on real General Arrangement drawings, and designed the drive train and power system for a 90 kg line-following AGV at Bekaert. On my own time, a multi-agent credit appraisal workflow compresses 3–6 weeks of manual appraisal into minutes, with a Chain of Evidence on every figure. Codeforces Expert (1619, top 10% globally), Cummins Merit Scholar '25, one IEEE paper published at I2ITCON 2026, and a granted South African patent.

Two-phase CAD validation platform: a synchronous geometric rule engine plus an async LLM enhancement pass. Checks a structural GA drawing against its mechanical counterpart and reports every finding with the arithmetic behind it.
India-Stack-native credit intelligence. A nine-node appraisal workflow — parallel spreading and GST verification, parallel reconciliation and buyer-concentration engines, then scoring, memo generation and counterfactual reasoning — built as a complete React front end over three fully worked borrower datasets.
Production engineering at startups and industry engagements, focused on real-time systems, applied AI and industrial robotics.
Architected a tree-shakeable TypeScript WebRTC SDK end-to-end as sole SDK engineer. Cut enterprise integration from 4–5 days to under 2 hours and delivered a 50-room race-condition-free state layer.
Launched a multi-tenant voice-agent platform serving 4 enterprises at 2.3K concurrent calls/day with 99.9% uptime, and redesigned the WebSocket turn-taking pipeline to cut TTFB to 800ms.
Co-architected a CAD-drawing validation platform under a semester-long engagement with ISGEC Heavy Engineering. Two-phase pipeline: synchronous rule engine + async LLM enhancement pass.
Industry engagement with Bekaert: the hardware and controls design for a 90 kg four-wheel line-following AGV — motor, driver and battery sizing against a single mass budget, encoder-closed-loop wheel-speed sync on STM32, and the telemetry dashboard the platform is operated from.
Industry-engagement project for Yantrikisoft: a multi-tenant retail analytics platform on a 73,100-row dataset — a 45-feature gradient-boosting demand model with conformal intervals, PSI drift monitoring, a three-estimator causal ensemble that reports its own disagreement, and an inventory simulator with an RL policy measured against a heuristic baseline.
A working catalogue — multi-agent systems, edge AI that works outside the cloud, retrieval-augmented products, autonomous robotics, fintech infra, and full-stack platforms. Filter by category.

A measurement protocol for autonomous coding agents: 18 curated tasks, 4 ablation configurations and 3 LLM backends, scored deterministically with oracle tests and a rubric — so the marginal contribution of each architectural component can be stated as a number rather than a demo.
A multi-tenant retail analytics platform: a 45-feature gradient-boosting demand model with conformal prediction intervals, PSI-based drift monitoring, a three-estimator causal ensemble that warns when its own methods disagree, a signed product-substitution graph, and an inventory simulator with an RL baseline — on a 73,100-row retail dataset.
Full-stack rail-yard scheduling: Java 21 / Spring Boot 4.0 REST API, Angular 21 dispatcher shell, and a normalised PostgreSQL 17 schema. Conflict-free reservations are enforced at the database layer by a partial GiST exclusion constraint, not by application code.
An SRE diagnosis agent that recalls similar past incidents from a memory bank, proposes evidence-cited mitigations, refuses fixes that have backfired before, and decays confidence as a fix stops working. The confidence score is computed from memory metadata — the model never supplies it.
Five-agent Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) narrative generator with a per-sentence evidence panel. A deterministic Fact Checker re-reads every generated sentence, scores each claim against the database, and marks the ones a human must review.
Cross-platform Edge AI app that translates spoken English to animated SignWriting in real time — fully offline. Built for the Snapdragon X Elite track. Whisper for STT, a local SignWriting model, and an optional Groq/LLaMA simplifier for online mode.
React Native (Expo) field app for on-device road-defect detection using TFLite + vision-camera, with an admin recharts dashboard for analytics.
