Dual-degree builder at the edge of AI

I'm a Robotics & AI student at Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham (Chennai) simultaneously pursuing a BS in Programming & Data Science from IIT Madras. I don't just study AI — I deploy it. From university-wide chatbots to Google's bug bounty program, I build systems that ship.

Currently building amritaGPT — a self-hosted AI platform running on my university's infrastructure with RAG, MCP servers, vector search, and multi-agent workflows.
