- 🌉 Building EduBridge, an offline-first EdTech platform for rural India
- 🌾 Developing AgriBridge AI, bringing AI-powered insights to agriculture
- 🤝 Multiple merged contributions in GSSoC '26
- ⚡ Full Stack Engineer focused on Offline-first Systems, PWAs, and AI
"I don't build features — I build systems that work when infrastructure fails, products that reach users who can't be reached any other way, and open-source tools that make the next developer's life easier."
| Principle | Belief |
|---|---|
| 🔌 Offline First | Real-world users don't have perfect internet. Engineer for that reality. |
| 🚢 Ship → Learn → Improve | A working MVP with real users beats a perfect spec every single time. |
| 🌱 Open Source Always | If it solved your problem, it will solve someone else's. Share it. |
| 🎯 Depth over Breadth | One deeply understood system beats five half-understood stacks. |
Software should solve real problems before it showcases technical complexity.

Offline-first EdTech PWA — 2026 🎯 Mission 250M+ rural students in India have no reliable internet. EduBridge works where the internet doesn't, reaching students mainstream EdTech abandons entirely. 🛠 Stack React 18 + Vite PWA · Workbox service workers · Supabase Auth + PostgreSQL + RLS · IndexedDB + Background Sync API ✨ Key Features
|
AI-powered agricultural intelligence platform 🎯 Mission Millions of Indian farmers make crop decisions without data, losing yield to causes data could prevent. AgriBridge AI puts ML-powered crop intelligence directly into their hands. 🛠 Stack React 19 · Node.js + Express REST API · TensorFlow CV pipeline · Satellite NDVI integration ✨ Key Features
