I'm a third-year Computer Science student at Brainware University, Kolkata (SGPA 8.79) — specialising in AI and Computer Vision.

I've built systems that detect eye conditions without any hardware, classify live traffic in real time, read market sentiment from raw text — and a complete personalised AI fitness platform powered by Claude AI.

I trained in Cryptographic Security at the Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata under a MeitY government programme — and completed Qualcomm's Deep Tech Entrepreneurship course with a perfect 100% score.

I'm not interested in average things. I'm obsessed with the intersection of precision engineering and real human impact.

Things I've built.

01

Ocular AI v2

Smartphone-based refractive error detection using screen photorefraction. No hardware. No clinic. Clinical validation: n=92, r=0.9857.

Software-only vision screening — detects myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Avg error 0.241D, 85.9% within ±0.5D. Independent research project — proprietary licence.
