B.Tech CSE, ACE Engineering College Hyderabad, India

I build AI agents that plan, act and recover on their own, with the guardrails written in code instead of in the prompt. I lead teams onto hackathon stages, work in the Founder's Office at Interseqt, and when the laptop closes I play keys, bass and guitar and sing lead.

Prompt engineering, explained.

I also teach what I build. In this lecture I break down how to write prompts that give an AI model clear roles, context and constraints, the same discipline behind every agent on this page.

LaunchPad X, National Innovation Hackathon 2026

Rs. 30,000/-Cash prize · First place

Team Rudra took first place overall with Procurement Pilot, an autonomous agent that runs procurement for college mess kitchens. It checks real vendor prices, holds a hard budget, and switches to another vendor on its own when one fails. Built for Track 1, The Agent Hub, at the event organised by VetriaAI with SNIST.

I led the team and the technical build.

Cal Hacks 13.0

Accepted in the Priority Round of Cal Hacks, the world's largest collegiate hackathon, with 3,000+ students expected at the 36-hour event. The Cal Hacks Foundation has issued my acceptance letter and a travel stipend, and I'm scheduled to be in San Francisco for October 23 to 25.

“Victor's application stood out for his work building and iterating on an agentic compliance system for government procurement, combining a deterministic rules engine with an LLM layer for judgment calls, and for his track record at competitive hackathons.”

Procurement Pilot

An autonomous agent that plans, prices and orders supplies for institutional kitchens. The arithmetic is deterministic; the model only decides what to check next. Spent ₹1,333.20 of a ₹1,516.62 budget. When a vendor rejected an order, it picked another one in the same run with no human input.

Ithamar

Checks every row of an Indian bank statement PDF against the statement's own running balance. A break is fixed only when exactly one explanation fits; a missing transaction is flagged for a person, never invented. 24 generated statements, 39 injected errors: 0 rows wrongly marked proven. The same engine runs in the browser, so a statement never leaves the tab.

Antibody

Root cause analysis for microservices. It learns the dependency graph from traces, folds thousands of events into one incident, and ranks the likely cause with a confidence label. When the evidence is thin, it says so. 84-scenario benchmark: true root cause ranked first in 100% of clean runs and 84.5% in hard mode.

Read-only by design: no checkout, no payments. Worked across Blinkit, Amazon, Zepto and District. BigBasket blocked it, so it logged the block and moved on.

A 12-hour hackathon that turned into a job.

  1. Jul 2026

    IndiaCodeX'26

    A 12-hour Cardano hackathon with DraperU India and Ethames Business School. With Team Pragmatic I built Exam Guard, which puts exam paper hashes on the Cardano testnet. We didn't place.

  2. After

    The founder noticed

    Praveer sir, Interseqt's founder, found me through the build and brought me into Interseqt to work on product.

  3. Now

    Founder's Office, Interseqt

    Product Manager reporting to the founder. I run documentation, wireframes and delivery planning for a live Web3 launchpad client, and I designed and shipped the company's own website.
