Building AI systems.

I’m Sounak Poddar, an engineering student developing applied + core AI systems that combine training/fine-tuning models (Core AI), software engineering with AI integration (Applied AI), and interface designs (UI designing) that add up to their beauty.

01 / My work

Products that I have engineered.

Each project can be viewed from two sides: the product people use and the system decisions behind it.

Project 01 / All-in-one academic workspace

StudentOS

An AI-native academic workspace that turns courses, syllabi, assignments, schedules, and study materials into a clear solid roadmap broken into daily TO-DO lists.

Read project note

Purpose

Reduce the 'Analysis Paralysis' scenarios of student life by bringing their entire academic context, scehdules, materials, and AI-driven assistance grounded to their academic story into one coherent environment.

Engineering pov

Lifecycle-driven onboarding, academic context retrieval, adaptive planning, Google Classroom integration, AI orchestration, and multi-tenant data architecture.

Current state

The product is already live. The first version is stable. Further versions are being actively worked upon.

TodayBreaks the student's overall academic state down into a clear set of TO-DO list for the day.

Academic ContextConnects and combines materials, syllabi, assignments, and schedules in one place.

PlanningAI-driven roadmap based on student's academic context, that adapts with their performance.

ClassroomSupports Google Classroom integration for fetching study materials, courses, etc.

Ask StudentOSAI guidance, revision, and overall study support, grounded solely on Academic Context.

Project 02 / AI Orchestrator

SentIQ Chat

A multimodal, multi-model, and multi-tool AI Orchestrator built around conversation with memory & contextual awareness capable of file understanding and generation, chart & image generation, web search, deep research, live speech-speech conversation.

Purpose

Bring several applied AI models, their capabilities and tools into one.

Engineering pov

Orchestration, tool designing and routing, streaming, memory, db and auth management, file understanding, prompt design, and overall system behaviour.

Current state

The product is actively evolving through ongoing feature and systems work.

ConversationThe central interface for interacting with the assistant.

MemoryMaintains context across interactions and threads.

FilesExtends the assistant into file understanding and analysis.

Tool routingConnects a request to the appropriate capability.

StreamingDelivers generated output token by token through the interface.

Project 03 / AI for the field

FieldLine

AI for bridging the communication gap effectively between the project lead and the field workers in large infrastructure projects. Aids project lead to manage the overall project effectively, while also guiding the execution team on the field.

Visit FieldLine

Read project note

Purpose

Connects project schedules with on-site reports and work updates, helping teams see what is completed, delayed, or at risk, while autonomously updating project status, and warning managers / admin only when any kind of anomalities are detected.

Engineering pov

Core AI + Applied AI : Houses machine learning models trained specifically for anomaly detection (statistical) and progress classification (logistic regression) in the progresses reported by the field workers, while appiled AI is used in usual AI response generaton, image recognition, while also allowing workers to report in their native language through speech to speech.

Current state

FieldLine v1 is stable and has been deployed. Initially developed for SIH 2026. Qualified in Round 1. Round 2 is under evaluation.

SpecialisationBuilt for infrastructure projects that need reliable progress tracking and early identification of delays.

Field ContextBring together daily reports, site records, spreadsheets, and inspection documents.

Easy ReportingAllows non-tech savvy field workers to report their progresses easily through text / speech in native language.

Linguistic barriersConverts the report made in native lanugage by the worker into english, hence addressing linguistic barries between the admin and the execution team.

03 / Experience

Experience.

Two remote AI internships between November 2025 and January 2026, focused on applied AI/ML workflows and LLM behaviour.

Artificial Intelligence Intern. Edunet Foundation, IBM SkillsBuild · Remote | Dec 2025 – Jan 2026 Completed a six-week applied AI/ML internship covering data preparation, model training, evaluation, NLP, and large language model fundamentals. Built Python workflows using Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, and Streamlit.

Artificial Intelligence Intern. Vault of Codes · Remote | Nov 2025 – Dec 2025 Designed prompts and lightweight AI workflows to study model behaviour, response quality, and automation. Built a Python-based AI chatbot as part of the internship programme.

04 / Beyond AI/ML

Other ways I think and create.

01 / Theatre

Theatre allows expression with awareness.

Theatre teaches me to express freely while staying aware of my voice, my audience, and my scene partners. It is a method of learning, not just an extra co-curricular activity.

02 / Reading

Understanding people and decisions.

Reading books on people fosters psychological understanding, empathy, communication, and a broader understanding of the people around.

03 / Writing

I am a storyteller on Wattpad.

Science fiction is my home genre. I write it on Wattpad, because the future is the best place to explore the present.

03 / Visual design

Simple, smooth, easy on the eyes.

I design interfaces where nothing feels cluttered, abrupt, or out of place.
