Selected Work

Counter-UAS Research — Abstract—This project presents RAC-SRPL for detecting formation-preserving GNSS spoofing through randomized authenticated anchor audits, and VERGE-CUAS for uncertainty-aware, collision-conscious clearance of partially responsive drone swarms. Seeded position-domain simulations provide reproducible evidence; hardware validation remains future work.
paymatrix — Flagship shared-expense PWA and native Android app engineered with integer-paise financial arithmetic, Gemini Vision receipt extraction, O(N log N) greedy debt simplification, and zero-trust UPI intent settlement.
Podium — A multi-tenant competition platform, formerly Forge, connecting registration, dynamic forms, judging and results in one organizer workspace. Substantial implementation is complete; refinement and event demos remain.
ITool — An open-source Rust tool for browsing and exporting iPhone photos and videos on Windows. Keep originals, choose media visually, and optionally create JPEG or MP4 copies.
OpenSense — An independent Android BlueSense replacement experiment for the Mahindra XUV500, built by studying the original app and its Bluetooth protocols. Real-car verification is still pending.
Pineapple Music — A playful Rust experiment exploring a native Windows alternative for Apple Music. The prototype, also called Cadence, is unfinished: account login, cloud library access and subscriber playback are unavailable.
FlowLite — A free, local voice-to-text app for Windows. Hold a key, speak, and the transcript is typed into whichever app has focus, with Whisper running on your own machine.
ESP32 Smart AC — A ~₹600 build that turns a basic Samsung split AC into a flagship-grade smart AC — Wi-Fi control, scheduling, sleep curves, energy tracking, and Alexa/Google voice, all served from a single ESP32.
