▹ AI / ML Engineer
I engineer LLM tooling & scalable systems - then break them in CTFs. National champion, competitive programmer, and a researcher chasing the why behind every model and every exploit.
Three overlapping worlds. The most interesting problems live in the intersection.
Interpreting the black box - from Gemma logit analysis to long-context fact-checking.
Thinking like an attacker. Globally ranked across CTFs and offensive security events.
Systems that scale - Go CDNs, serverless pipelines and real-time architectures.
A selection of things I've shipped - from AI tooling to serverless infrastructure.
A self-hosted full-stack workbench to run and monitor containerized AI coding agents in isolated Docker sandboxes.
A CLI tool that prevents OOM crashes by validating local VRAM against Hugging Face model specs and quantization levels.
A comprehensive administration system with role-based dashboards for Admins, Doctors and Patients.
National titles, competitive ratings and globally-ranked CTF finishes.
National Champion - Winner (2024), by Scaler School of Technology.
Achieved Expert rank. Handle: @PythonicVarun.
National finalist in the flagship cybersecurity competition.
Top national qualifier in Stage-1.
Global ranked in the Nullcon-hosted CTF.
Strong global finish in a large international CTF.
Whether it's an internship, a research collaboration, or a bug that needs finding - I'm always up for a challenge.
