Builder and space science student from Palakkad, Kerala. I work across software, hardware, and data — and spend most of my time thinking about the physical universe. Grade 10 CBSE, aspiring astrophysicist.
The cosmos is within us. We are made of star-stuff.
I'm Akshith — a CBSE 10th-grader from Palakkad with a persistent need to understand how things work, from ESP32 firmware to stellar spectra.
Currently expanding my technical foundation through IIT Bombay's Certificate Programme in AI & Machine Learning with Python, while maintaining full proficiency in aerospace engineering principles via IIT Madras's aerospace curriculum.
I led team RC_Real Coding at the NASA Space Apps Challenge 2025 in Thrissur — overseeing project direction, technical implementation, and the final presentation — earning Global Nominee status with our submission, EXOVision.
Currently building at the intersection of space data and machine learning. Reading widely across astrophysics, mathematics, and Kerala's extraordinary scientific heritage.
I've also attended the ISRO EsroMagica workshop and participated in the ISRO Space Week programme, where the team placed 1st and 2nd in the project and quiz categories respectively.
AI-assisted exoplanet finder with real-time spectrum analysis, predictive analytics, and custom classification engine. Selected as Global Nominee. Built in 48 hours with team RC_Real Coding.
Educational exploit framework in Bash for controlled security research. GPL-3.0.
ESP32 hardware pentesting tool. RF exploitation at firmware level for research.
Arduino/ESP sketches — WiFi cars, Blynk sensors, weather stations, servo control, obstacle avoiders, plant monitors. A growing collection of hardware experiments bridging physical and digital.
A career guidance platform helping science students explore real-world career paths. We explain ideas and fields in a simple, explainable way — not to tell you what to decide, but to show you what's out there so you can decide yourself.
Deepening EXOVision — improving the ML pipeline's classification accuracy and building a cleaner transit photometry interface. Developing Arivu, a career guidance platform helping science students explore real-world career paths through explainable AI and automation. The platform simplifies complex fields into accessible information, empowering students to make informed decisions about their futures. Pioneering a new modelling framework that removes environmental constraints — opening pathways to ideas previously limited by physical or computational boundaries.
Transit photometry as a philosophy of detection — how we find what we cannot directly see. Whether hardware engineering and space science share a common grammar of uncertainty. The line between a signal and noise when the instrument is the Earth itself. And what it means to come from a place that named stars before telescopes.
