welcome to my portfolio

i spend my days building products, shipping fast, breaking things, fixing them, and rebuilding them better. my nights are usually split between hackathons, refining ideas, or obsessing over how something can be simpler and sharper. what drives me beyond the technical challenge is the urge to turn ideas into real, usable systems - not just demos, not just code, but products that solve something real and stand on their own.

hackathon project

march 2026 · india innovates 2026, bharat mandapam

delhi's road intelligence & safety network - built for india innovates 2026, the world's largest civic tech hackathon, held at bharat mandapam, new delhi. never attending a government hackathon again.
turns delhi's 3 lakh zomato/swiggy/zepto delivery riders into a passive pothole detection network - they just ride, the app maps every road hazard in real-time
dual detection: on-device lstm neural network on the accelerometer classifies pothole severity (s1/s2/s3), while yolov8-nano on the forward camera catches water-filled potholes and road edge crumbling 4-5 seconds before impact
confirmation engine: 3+ accelerometer reports at the same gps coordinate → confirmed on public map. yolo water detection at 91%+ confidence → immediate alert, no wait
addresses 50 two-wheeler deaths and ₹3,450 crore in annual damage across delhi - connects mcd, ngos, delivery riders, and citizens in one coordination platform

ai-powered skin health platform connecting dermatology, mental health, and environmental factors
built the first android app that combines skin condition detection using fine-tuned dinov2 vision transformers
mood tracking with emotional pattern analysis and a voice-based mental health agent called "solace"
my first android app-learned react native, mobile ml inference, and built a production-ready health product from scratch
early detection can prevent up to 80% of flare-ups

trained custom ml models on diverse skin tones and lighting conditions, deployed inference on-device for real-time diagnosis

built this for rangrezz ntf, the largest theatre fest of india at chitkara uni. the official deployment link is currently paused because they won't buy us vercel premium, but the preview deployment is still live and fully functional

key lesson

use cdn for images instead of bloating the public folder-learned this the hard way when deployment kept timing out
