CampusLoop
2026 – PresentVerified student-only campus network for 1,350+ Indian colleges. Gatekept by institutional college email verification to enable anonymous confessions, real-time campus feeds, student marketplace, canteen polls, and batch time capsules.
Debo
2025An AI memory system that ingests notes, links, audio, and conversations, embeds them for retrieval, and surfaces relevant context through a chat interface — a personal RAG pipeline over everything you capture day to day. Built solo end-to-end: ingestion, vector search, and the agent layer on top.
CodeVisualizer
2025An open-source tool that turns LeetCode-style problems into animated, step-by-step visualizations. Built with a three-file contributor pattern so others can add new problems without touching the core engine.
Solus
2025 – PresentA privacy-first personal social network with no followers, no likes, and no algorithmic feed. Built on Hono, Cloudflare Workers, Neon, Drizzle, and R2 for a clean, end-to-end encrypted, single-user experience.

About
I am a software engineer focused on building robust, scalable systems and developer tooling. With 500+ repositories and 300+ merged PRs across the global open-source ecosystem, I take pride in end-to-end craftsmanship — from low-level API design and fault-tolerant cloud backends to razor-sharp, accessible frontends. Currently building CampusLoop (the verified campus network for 1,350+ Indian colleges), architecting MCP server infrastructure, and contributing to open source.
