Systems programmer & competitive coder.
I live inside bitboards, search trees and
byte-level emulation — correctness first, speed second.
I'm an Information Science & Engineering student at NMAM Institute of Technology, Nitte — graduating 2027. Most of what I build sits at the intersection of algorithms and hardware, where the wrong instruction order can cost 40% of your search speed.
That shows up in three places: a C++ chess engine built from bitboards up, a CHIP-8 emulator reproducing 1970s hardware instruction-for-instruction, and steady competitive programming — DP, backtracking, divide-and-conquer, worked until the closed form clicks.
Currently on semester break, deep in an agentic AI side-project — a profiling agent that reasons about my own chess engine's performance — and hunting remote internships, Google Summer of Code top of the list.
A profiling agent for the chess engine, game prototypes, and systems experiments live here before they are ready for a public repository.
Systems programmer focused on C++, search algorithms, emulation, and competitive programming.
Regular practice at an advanced level — usually pushed until there's a closed-form solution, not just a working one.
