What drives me

"

दु:खेष्वनुद्विग्नमना: सुखेषु विगतस्पृह: | वीतरागभयक्रोध: स्थितधीर्मुनिरुच्यते

Bhagavad Gita 2.56 — One who is undisturbed by misery, unelated by happiness, free from attachment, fear, and anger — that one is a sage of steady mind. This verse guides how I approach both software and life.

AI / ML Engineering

Validating deep learning models up to 70B parameters on Qualcomm AI accelerators using PyTorch, TensorRT, and LangChain.

Product Engineering

Full end-to-end ownership of PlantPause and KutumbTree — a family-tree SaaS in Python with a RAG-based story generator and agentic relationship suggestions.

Automation at Scale

Automated 260+ test cases with CLI-Jenkins pipelines, cutting manual effort by 98% and accelerating validation by 80%.

Embedded Systems

Deep roots in bare-metal firmware, motor controllers, and hardware validation across ARM, DSP, and TI-C2000 architectures.

On YouTube

I share what I build and learn — from AI projects to Python tutorials — in plain, practical terms.

rubixcodelab
@rubix-coder

A channel about building real things with code — AI/ML projects, Python deep dives, automation ideas, and hands-on tutorials. The kind of content I wished existed when I was learning: practical, direct, and honest about what actually works. From writing your first Python script to fine-tuning language models and building agentic AI systems.
