Midhun P M — NowWhat I'm up to now

Semester five of my B.Tech in CSE at Sahrdaya. Most of my energy outside class goes to the IEEE student branch, where I'm Technical Coordinator — WC Predict '26 just wrapped with 58+ players and 737+ bets, and there's always something on ieeesahrdaya.com that needs fixing.

On the side-project bench: keeping EtlabPro alive for the students using it (the portal changes shape more often than you'd think), and slowly turning Thursday from "works on my machine" into something I'd hand to another person.

LLM deployment beyond the happy path — quantization trade-offs, Vulkan backends, and what it actually costs to serve models yourself. Building Thursday on an Intel Arc GPU has been a forced education in all three.

Systems programming in C++, because Calculus Dash showed me how much I don't know. And backend architecture the honest way: by having EtlabPro break in production and reading the logs.
