About Me

I am an Integrated M.Sc. Software Engineering student at Annamalai University with about 2 years remaining in my program. My development focus lies at the intersection of robust backend architectures and clean, native mobile applications.

As a backend developer, I design reliable systems using Python and Django. On the mobile front, I build native Android apps with Kotlin and cross-platform apps with Flutter. I am a full-time Linux user and an active FOSS contributor with published applications on F-Droid.
