NIKHIL CHAVANKE

Engineer Researcher Builder

I build systems at the intersection of research and shipping code — one granted patent, one published paper, and a pile of things that started as 2am experiments.

RESEARCH

Published, granted, and defended work.

PATENT

System and Method for Adaptive Edge Inference on Constrained Devices

Number
IN 202X41XXXXXX
Status
Granted
Year
2025

A scheduling method that shifts model partitions between device and edge at runtime based on thermal and bandwidth headroom, cutting p99 latency without retraining. (dummy abstract — replace)

PAPER

Lightweight Attention for Real-Time Sensor Fusion

Venue
IEEE Conference (dummy)
Status
Published
Year
2025

Replaces full self-attention with a banded approximation for multi-sensor streams, holding accuracy within 1.2% at a third of the FLOPs. (dummy abstract — replace)

BTP

B.Tech Project — Autonomous Fault Detection in Distributed Pipelines

Guide
Prof. Placeholder
Status
Defended
Year
2026

Anomaly detection over streaming telemetry with a self-tuning threshold, deployed against a simulated 40-node cluster. (dummy abstract — replace)

PROJECTS

Things I built end to end.

Neural Cache Predictor

Predicts cache misses ahead of the scheduler using a tiny GRU. 18% fewer stalls on the benchmark suite.

PyTorchC++CUDA

Deploy Radar

Real-time deploy dashboard streaming CI events over SSE, with rollback in one click.

GoReactRedis

Sensor Fusion Playground

Browser sandbox for visualising multi-sensor fusion strategies frame by frame.

WebGLTypeScript

This Site

Static portfolio on S3 + CloudFront, deployed by GitHub Actions on every push to main.

AWSActionsVanilla JS

Toy Kernel

x86 kernel with a preemptive scheduler and a filesystem that mostly works.

CASM

Markdown Engine

Zero-dependency markdown to HTML compiler with streaming output.

RustWASM
