AI systems, builtall the way through.

I'm Rohith, a CS undergrad at VNRVJIET and an AI Engineer Intern at Centella AI Therapeutics. I work across the whole system: FastAPI services, agent workflows, ML models, and the interfaces people use them through.

Now

AI Engineer Intern, Centella AI Therapeutics

Async backend services and LLM workflows for production AI features. Since Aug 2026.

Recoverix

In-transit shipment recovery

Problem
When a shipment breaks down in transit, operators need a viable recovery option quickly, and they need to trust why that option was chosen.
Approach
The logistics network is modelled as a graph in NetworkX. Candidate recoveries are filtered against hard constraints, every decision carries an explanation, and the chosen route is handed off through Sarvam voice automation with Google Maps geospatial routing.

Civix

Civic micro-task platform

Problem
A broken streetlight or a faded notice rarely gets reported, because reporting feels like a commitment nobody signed up for.
Approach
Issues are broken into quick tasks. AI validates each submission and automation workflows move the issue forward, so contributing takes minutes instead of follow-ups.

YOLOv8 → scikit-learn → SUMO

Problem
Fixed signal timings cannot react to how traffic actually moves through a city like Bengaluru.
Approach
YOLOv8 and OpenCV detect vehicles, scikit-learn models predict congestion, and SUMO simulation tests the adaptive signal-timing recommendations before they are served through FastAPI and PostgreSQL.

PondFix

Early warning for aquaculture ponds

Problem
A pond can lose its oxygen overnight, and by the time a farmer sees fish gasping at the surface the damage is done. Readings alone do not say what is about to happen.
Approach
Every reading is validated, classified against one set of risk rules and settled into a persistent alert lifecycle, then a hash-pinned scikit-learn model forecasts +15, +60 and +180 minutes so oxygen alerts can open before the drop. An AI advisor and a RAG chatbot explain alerts in Telugu and twelve other languages, with Sarvam voice calls for critical ones, on a Next.js dashboard with a 3D digital twin and an Expo app for farmers.

02Profile

I like problems that need the whole stack.

Most of what I build sits where AI meets a hard real-world constraint: a shipment that still has to arrive, a traffic signal that has to change, a loan decision someone deserves to have explained.

That means caring about the unglamorous parts as much as the model. Constraint filtering before recommendations, explanations next to predictions, and backend services that make an agent workflow usable by an actual product.

Hackathons are where I learn fastest: two first places and two runner-up finishes so far, each one a full system built under a deadline. Alongside that I co-authored a Springer-published paper on water-quality classification, and I'm now building async FastAPI services and LLM workflows at Centella AI Therapeutics.
