GCES Hostel Operations Platform

Full-stack institutional operations platform deployed to 1,200 active residential students. Multi-module Clean Architecture separating :app, :server, and :common. Engineered a predictive meal engine using ShedLock distributed JDBC locks on PostgreSQL so midnight attendance resets remain atomic across backend nodes. Token bucket rate limiting preserves peak sub-100ms API latency.

ConnectLnx Multiplatform Transfer

High-throughput local network file transfer utility sharing business logic across Android, Linux, and Windows. Designed a custom binary TCP protocol with parallel multi-socket streaming, multiplexing chunks across 5 concurrent sockets for maximum local network transfer rates. Features zero-configuration mDNS peer discovery with QR camera pairing fallback.

Aztrox Release CLI Orchestrator

Unified release CLI automating build, signing, and distribution across 3 live codebases and 6 deployment targets: Google Play, GitHub Releases, AUR, Render, HuggingFace Spaces, and Firebase. Features a LIFO atomic rollback registry that reverts version bumps, gradle properties, and git tags if any intermediate stage fails.

Offline-first personal finance app. Interactive spending charts drawn on Jetpack Compose Canvas, Room database with reactive Flow queries, and background budget threshold notifications via WorkManager.

Experience

Thinkster Math

AI Systems & Automation Intern

May 2026 – Jun 2026 • Remote (USA)

Engineered an unattended AI worksheet automation and analytics verification platform, replacing manual QA workflows across student mathematics curricula.

  • • Constructed an unattended Selenium WebDriver automation harness managing authenticated sessions, live question rendering, and telemetry capture.
  • • Implemented multimodal LLM vision evaluation pipelines over rendered question frames to verify mathematical proof validity, validate answer keys, and detect rendering defects.
  • • Refined prompt contracts to enforce deterministic outputs across complex visual layouts, minimizing false-positive inspection flags.
  • • Built a Flask analytics reporting service backed by MongoDB with structured output classifications and dynamic filtering.
  • • Architected a thread-safe execution harness using shared state locks to run multiple parallel worksheet batches without deadlocks.

How Deep Does a Next-Concept Model Need to Run?

Next-concept language models synthesize sequences through a fixed ladder of K coarse-to-fine parallel passes. In this research, we formulate the oracle depth ceiling: the exact proportion of passes an optimal selector with perfect foresight can safely omit at parity quality. Across benchmarks, we measure a 37.7% redundant pass ceiling on XSum summarisation (replicating at 39.3% and 37.6% across validation splits). We also design an unsupervised entity saturation early-exit criterion capturing one-third of the theoretical ceiling with negligible ROUGE-L divergence.
