Lalan Kumar

Hey — I'm Lalan Kumar, a BTech student at IIT soon working at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and the web. I care about making things that are technically sharp and genuinely good to use. I'm deep into competitive programming — the kind of problem-solving that keeps you up at 2 AM. I qualified for ZCO on the path to INOI, and I won a hackathon that reminded me how much I love building fast under pressure.

Outside of code, I'm usually out on a field somewhere — cricket is religion, football is therapy. I also shoot, photography: I photograph the things most people walk past, light hitting a wall at the wrong angle, a moment between moments. Finding frames everywhere is just how I see the world now. Oh, and I overthink things. A lot. Some call it a habit — I call it a feature, because occasionally that depth leads somewhere genuinely interesting.
