Computer Science Engineering (Core) student at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, KTR, Chennai — currently in Semester III.
I'm interested in how AI systems reason about and interact with the real world — that spans research (Vision-Language Models) and applied work (agentic AI, MCP-based tooling).
- 🔬 Research — evaluating Vision-Language Models for road-scene reasoning, fusing dashcam imagery with map-based context. Paper accepted at ICVTTS 2026, presenting in Bangalore this September.
- 🤖 Agentic AI / MCP — building tools on the Model Context Protocol; runner-up at the Agentic AI Hackathon 2026.
- 🛰️ Completed a Def-Space Summer Internship at Bharat Space Education Research Centre (BSERC), covering Generative AI, cybersecurity, and drone technology.

Always happy to talk VLMs, agentic systems, or anything at the intersection of research and building.
