I create digital experiences that matter.
I started my coding journey during the lockdown, initially out of curiosity with Python and web fundamentals. Over the years, I've evolved into a full-stack developer, working on diverse projects from mobile apps to web platforms.
My experience includes freelancing for various clients, integrating AI technologies, building real-time applications, and now interning at NMS Softwares where I focus on scalable solutions and cloud deployments.

My Tech Stack
A curated list of technologies I use to build scalable, high-performance applications.
Featured Works
A curated selection of projects showcasing full-stack development, innovative solutions, and technical excellence.

Elato
A location-based social networking application designed to help people discover and connect with others nearby in real time. The platform allows users to explore nearby individuals and discover local events through temporary social spaces called parties. By combining proximity-based discovery with real-time chat and interaction tools, Elato enables spontaneous socialization while making real-world social interaction more accessible, natural, and privacy-conscious.

Skillz
An AI-powered technical assessment platform focused on making tech hiring faster and more reliable. The platform generates role-specific assessments in seconds using AI and supports objective, coding, and subjective questions with automatic evaluation and detailed performance analytics. Showcased the complete end-to-end workflow, from AI-based assessment generation to instant grading and candidate insights. Reached finalist stage at IIT Gandhinagar.

Bharat Bonds
A blockchain-based platform designed to democratize access to Indian government bonds, offering a secure, transparent, and highly liquid investment vehicle. By tokenizing these bonds, the platform makes them fractional, easily tradable, and accessible to a broader range of investors, including students and first-time investors. BharatBonds provides a stable yield, typically around 7-8%, backed by the sovereign guarantee of the Indian government.

VMC AI Call Center
An AI-powered municipal grievance redressal system that enables citizens to file complaints via phone in multiple languages. The platform integrates Whisper (STT), Gemini 3.0 Flash for structured reasoning, Sarvam AI (TTS), and a FastAPI-based orchestration layer to convert live calls into structured complaint records. A real-time React dashboard provides administrative monitoring and tracking. Recognized as a Finalist for strong technical execution and practical urban governance impact.

ZeroTrace
A privacy-focused security platform that lets users check if their accounts were exposed in data breaches and perform reverse image searches. Designed the full backend using FastAPI and PostgreSQL with secure authentication, encrypted storage practices, rate limiting, and scalable architecture. Built with privacy and security as core principles.

Blockchain Based Blue Carbon Registry & MRV System
Secured 1st place at Vadodara Hackathon 5.0, competing among 500+ teams. Built a Blockchain-Based Blue Carbon MRV (Monitoring, Reporting & Verification) System designed to digitize and streamline coastal restoration reporting. The solution included a mobile app for NGOs to submit restoration data with supporting evidence, a FastAPI backend with secure storage and CO₂ estimation logic, and a web dashboard for government-level verification with structured review workflows. Approved projects were tokenized on the Polygon blockchain to create a transparent, tamper-resistant carbon credit registry.
Honors & Achievements
Recognition from leading institutions and competitions for innovative technical solutions and team leadership excellence.

Winner & Team Leader - Vadodara Hackathon 5.0
Secured 1st place at Vadodara Hackathon 5.0, competing in the finale among 500+ teams. Our team built a Blockchain-Based Blue Carbon MRV (Monitoring, Reporting & Verification) System designed to digitize and streamline coastal restoration reporting. The solution included a mobile app for NGOs to submit restoration data with supporting evidence, a FastAPI backend with secure storage and CO₂ estimation logic, and a web dashboard for government-level verification with structured review workflows and ticket-based follow-ups. Approved projects were tokenized on the Polygon blockchain to create a transparent, tamper-resistant carbon credit registry. Winning this hackathon reflects our ability to design, build, and present a complete end-to-end climate-tech solution under pressure.

Winner & Team Leader - PU Code Hackathon 2.0
Signify is an AI-powered platform that converts text into real-time 3D sign language animations, bridging communication gaps for the deaf and hard-of-hearing. This project was developed during PU Code Hackathon 2.0 at Parul University, where I successfully led my team to win the competition. As the team leader, I drove the vision, coordinated efforts, and ensured the solution was innovative, functional, and impactful.

Finalist & Team Leader - Codeversity, IIT Gandhinagar
Built and presented Skillz, an AI-powered technical assessment platform focused on making tech hiring faster and more reliable. The platform generates role-specific assessments in seconds using AI and supports objective, coding, and subjective questions with automatic evaluation and detailed performance analytics. Showcased the complete end-to-end workflow, from AI-based assessment generation to instant grading and candidate insights. Competed among strong technical teams and successfully reached the finalist stage at IIT Gandhinagar.

Finalist & Team Leader - PU Tech Expo 2026
Elato is a location-based social networking application designed to help people discover and connect with others nearby in real time. The platform allows users to explore nearby individuals and discover local events through temporary social spaces called parties. These parties can range from small interest-based gatherings such as jam sessions or study groups to larger community events and live performances. By combining proximity-based discovery with real-time chat and interaction tools, Elato enables spontaneous socialization while also allowing users to build lasting connections beyond a single event.

Finalist & Team Leader - PU Code Hackathon 3.0
Built an AI-powered municipal grievance redressal system that enables citizens to file complaints via phone in multiple languages. The platform integrates Whisper (STT), Gemini 3.0 Flash for structured reasoning, Sarvam AI (TTS), and a FastAPI-based orchestration layer to convert live calls into structured complaint records. A real-time React dashboard provides administrative monitoring and tracking. Recognized as a Finalist for strong technical execution and practical urban governance impact.

Finalist & Team Leader – Vadodara Hackathon 5.0 (2024)
Led a team to the top 45 out of 450+ teams at Vadodara Hackathon 5.0 with our project, AgriVistaar—an Android app that enables farmers to connect directly with buyers, streamlining the agricultural supply chain. As Team Leader, I coordinated project development and utilized Android Studio, Kotlin, Firebase, and Razorpay to build a user-friendly interface and secure payment system.
