Hi, I'm Dheeraj Gopu.

I studied Electronics & Instrumentation Engineering with a minor in AI/ML, where I learned to design, build, test and maintain automated measurement and control systems. Combining biomedical instrumentation with AI/ML, I worked on a research project that used retinal fundus images to identify cardiac risk with a hybrid CNN-Transformer ensemble. The work eventually became a published research paper, my first real attempt at bringing two very different fields together to solve a problem.

At TCS, that curiosity has taken me deeper into software engineering. I work across Java, Node.js and AWS, building and supporting the backend systems behind the official apps of international marathons. I help develop and maintain the environment that keeps these systems running smoothly when race day brings a sudden surge of traffic. Working in that environment has taught me to care about reliability, scale and the details that users never notice when things go right.

Outside work, I'm constantly building and experimenting with ideas of my own, from AI and personal productivity tools to products I'd like to see exist. Some become projects, some stay experiments, but each one gives me another problem to understand and another chance to get better. I enjoy starting with a simple idea, figuring out what it could become, and learning something new in the process.
