MORE ABOUT ME

I'm Omkar, an engineer who ships

I'm a third-year Computer Engineering student in Pune, and most of what I do sits at the seam between data and systems — engineering training datasets for machine-learning and LLM programmes, building the pipelines that clean and validate them, and automating whatever around that is still manual.

The rest is competition work. Three national placings in eighteen months: an AI hackathon win with a forecasting platform for FMCG distributors, a Smart India Hackathon runner-up with a digital twin for railway traffic, and a Qualcomm national top-10 with a radar system that finds people through walls. Each one shipped as a working system rather than a deck.

I like problems where the hard part isn't the model. Deciding what a zero in a sales table actually means, or encoding a safety rule so an agent structurally cannot break it — that's the work I find worth doing.
