03 Milestones
Hackathon WinnerGoogle DeepMindOct 2026

AI-Powered Real-Time Scam & Fraud Detection

Won the Google DeepMind Bangalore Hackathon with an AI-powered Android application that detects potential digital frauds—like suspicious UPI payment requests, phishing URLs, and SMS scams—warning users in real time with vernacular voice guidance.

  • Built in collaboration with Dheeraj Motupalli during an intensive build sprint at Google DeepMind Bangalore.
  • Leveraged Gemini multimodal reasoning paired with speech-to-text and text-to-speech models for instant vernacular fraud alerts.
  • Engineered specifically for non-technical users in India who are vulnerable to deceptive social engineering and digital payment coercion.

One Year Milestone: 2x AI Hackathon Winner & Season Judge

Celebrating one year as SDE-II at project44—winning the internal AI in Action Hackathon twice consecutively and subsequently invited to serve as an official Judge for the next season.

  • Won the project44 AI in Action Hackathon twice consecutively for high-impact AI developer tooling.
  • Served as an official Judge evaluating cross-functional engineering innovations in the following hackathon season.
  • Architected a Figma-to-Code generation pipeline leveraging Figma MCP server to produce production-grade UI components in minutes.
  • Engineered a live UI Inspector enabling developers to visually inspect production interfaces and prompt real-time codebase modifications.

Algorithmic Foundation

Extensive practice across dynamic programming, graph algorithms (SCC, Min-Cut, Shortest Path), advanced trees (Segment Trees with Lazy Propagation, Fenwick Trees, Treaps), and number theory. This rigorous foundation directly informs the low-latency distributed systems and memory engines I architect today.
