Machine Learning Engineer / Software Engineer
from Kolkata, India
I'm a software engineer driven by the inherent joy of messing around with technology and understanding how things work. I care less about meeting requirements and more about questioning assumptions - the most robust solutions come from actively digging into the why, not just the what.
Final year CS student graduating May 2026. I write code every day - for work, for side projects, for the pure satisfaction of watching something click into place.
The project I'm proudest of is DeHazeXpert - the world's first real-time video dehazing and desmoking engine. It strips smoke, haze and fog out of a live feed entirely on-device, holding 150+ fps at 1080p with under 30ms latency, which makes it genuinely usable on firefighting drones and rescue equipment rather than just in a benchmark.
Alongside it: HireLens, an agentic AI platform that runs autonomous telephonic interviews; NN to Decision Rules, published research on distilling neural networks into human-readable rules; Dual-Hand Smart Gloves, an ASL-to-speech wearable; and HealthAlign, a personalized healthcare platform.
I write technical articles and tutor students across the globe - from the United Kingdom and Norway to the United States, India, Canada, and Germany. Teaching is how I stress-test my own understanding - if I can't explain it clearly, I don't know it well enough.
I build things outside of code too. That RC airplane in the photo? Built from raw materials - designed it, assembled it, and flew it on the first try. I'm drawn to understanding how things work at a fundamental level - not just software, but machines, systems, the physics behind everyday objects.
When I'm not building something, I'm usually taking photographs or playing badminton.
Daily LeetCode, daily shipping code, always pushing into unfamiliar territory. I write code every single day - for work, for practice, for the joy of solving something new.
