Selected Projects
Podcast Engine - VoiceMeeter Audio Automation
- Prototyped a Python-based automation system for VoiceMeeter Banana to stabilize podcast audio levels across host and guest microphones.
- Designed workflow logic around gain riding, soft limiting near clipping, smart cross-gating to reduce mic bleed, gate hold timing, noise-floor awareness, and auto-reconnect behavior.
- Created configurable settings for target levels, thresholds, gain limits, ducking, and microphone mappings using a JSON config file.
Podcast Production Automation - OBS + Advanced Scene Switcher
- Automated podcast camera switching using OBS Advanced Scene Switcher macros based on microphone audio thresholds.
- Built a workflow where the scene switches to the guest when guest audio crosses a decibel threshold, and switches back when host audio becomes dominant.
YouTube Transcript, Chapters, and Creator Workflow Tools
- Built workflows that fetch YouTube transcripts and use Gemini API to transform long podcast content into structured chapters, including Hindi podcast content.
- Created a deployed YouTube chapter generator with frontend on Vercel and backend on Railway.
- Prototyped a second-brain transcript system and FFmpeg-based long-video-to-short-clip workflow using topic transition detection.
AI Interview Coach
- Built a live interactive interview-practice bot using Gemini Live TTS/STT to simulate interview scenarios and voice-based practice conversations.
Smart Campus Lost & Found System
- Built a full-stack campus utility website with authentication, MongoDB database integration, and deployed frontend/backend infrastructure.
Memory Palace Game and MCP Tooling Experiments - Godot + KiCad
- Experimented with existing MCP workflows for Godot Engine and KiCad to understand how AI tools can interact with creative and engineering software.
- Built a Memory Palace game concept inspired by the method of loci while experimenting with Godot and Godot MCP workflows.
Leadership & Experience
Google Gemini Student Ambassador, KL University - Represented Gemini-related student outreach and AI awareness on campus.
Chair, IEEE Robotics & Automation Society - Led student activity around robotics, automation, and engineering exploration.
