I am a final-year computer science student at The LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur, graduating in 2027. Over the last two years I have shipped 32 public products and competed in more than twenty hackathons and datathons, and almost all of it points at the same kind of problem: something in the physical world that is already going wrong for somebody, where a model can help but cannot be trusted on its own.
Crop loss. Air quality enforcement. Road capacity. Fraud rings. Misdiagnosis. Thin-file credit. Urban flooding. Police case linkage. The common thread is not the technique, it is the discipline: a model is allowed to propose, and something deterministic decides, so a person can always answer the question “why did this happen?”
Outside the engineering I spent three years in the Debate Society, ending as one of its Coordinators, and helped run two editions of the LNMIIT Model United Nations. Running a conference for 170 delegates taught me more about shipping under a deadline than any side project did.
