🌸 Chapter One

Once upon a tiny planet…

…there lived a girl who builds mission-critical software β€” systems that fly, see, and never get to crash. Today I'm a Software Development Engineer 2 at Dhruva Space, writing full-stack software for real satellites ✨
Before this I built mission-critical software at GalaxEye Space, first interned at Dhruva Space (GMAT, QGIS, OREKIT!), and made everything from a real-time yoga trainer to audio sentiment analysis. BTech in EEE (Honors) from NIT Andhra Pradesh. πŸŽ“
My happy place? Where machine learning meets the stars β€” image processing with PaliGemma, SAM, Florence & GDAL, and writing about how satellites see the world. πŸ›°οΈπŸ’•

The skill nebula

Everything I've trained, tuned or tinkered with β€” hover to make them jump! ✨
