Milestones, awards, and recognitions
Accumulated over five hackathon wins across national and international competitions — spanning AI, accessibility, cloud computing, and data science domains.
2023–PresentProfile-linked counts refresh when the public page allows it; otherwise these pinned values stay visible.
Won the Vibe Code with Gemini 2.0 Flash competition hosted by Google DeepMind in AI Studio on Kaggle — building a creative AI-powered application with Gemini's multimodal capabilities.
2025Reached Kaggle Master tier — top 1% globally across 12M+ users. Competed in ML/data science challenges spanning NLP, computer vision, and tabular data.
OngoingKaggle does not expose a simple public client-side stats endpoint, so this card links to the live profile and keeps your pinned highlights visible here.
Achieved Guardian rank — contest peak rating 2332, top 0.46% globally. Consistent high performance in weekly and biweekly coding contests.
OngoingThis card refreshes from LeetCode's public GraphQL profile data when the platform allows it.
Earned Candidate Master title on Codeforces with a peak rating of 1968 — placing in the top competitive programmers on the platform worldwide.
