About Me 🙋‍♂️

I mostly learn by breaking things, then figuring out why they broke. That habit has taken me through full stack apps, a few MVPs, some cloud experiments that failed before they worked, and a growing list of open source repos, some I built from scratch, some I just showed up and contributed to. Give me a codebase I've never seen before and I'll happily spend a weekend finding my way around it. Not because it's easy. Because that's usually how I actually learn something.

Open Source 💡

I did Google Code-in back in 2018, completed 6 tasks, and ended up with a certificate and a Google t-shirt for it. Then I didn't touch open source again for six years. Picked it back up in January 2026, first on my own, then through GSSoC and ECSOC.

Things I’ve Built 🪄

🎓 LearnHub An open source learning platform I run as project admin, handling issues, PRs, and contributor onboarding.

🔐 Credify Verifies academic credentials so no one has to call a university registrar to check if a degree is real.

🏫 CampusEventHub A MERN app for running campus events without ten WhatsApp groups and a lost Google Form.

How I Actually Work 🧠

It starts with an idea, then I try to understand what I’m actually solving before I touch code. Then a rough prototype, usually ugly, usually broken in at least one place. Once it does the basic thing, it becomes an MVP. Testing finds the stuff I missed. Then I fix it and ship it, and if anyone else is using it, they tell me what’s still broken. Repeat.

Building, contributing where I can be useful, and figuring the rest out as I go.
