I'm a Computer Science Engineering undergrad who learns by building and shipping.
I've taken Sathimate and Archai from an empty folder to
production — frontend, backend, AI integration, deployment, and the Play Store release
in between. I want to write software people actually use.

About me
I'd rather ship it than read about it.
I started studying Computer Science at Sharda University in 2024, and within the first year
I'd stopped waiting for a course to tell me what to build. Sathimate came out of a
simple annoyance: planning a trip with friends means five apps and one person quietly paying
for everything. So I built the thing that fixes it — trip planning, cost splitting, and an
AI travel assistant, in one place.
Since then I've shipped Archai, an AI image services platform with a live in-browser
demo, contributed frontend and deployment work to QuickDials, and started
TheCEOTalk — a podcast where I interview founders, mostly because the fastest
way to learn how companies get built is to ask people who did it.
What I'm looking for now: an internship or developer role on a team that ships to real users.
I'm comfortable owning a feature end to end, and I'm at my best when there's a production
bug at 1am and something has to actually work by morning.
Full-stack, end to end
React and Next.js on the front, Node and Firebase behind it, Vercel for deploys. I've owned every layer of two live products.
AI as a feature, not a demo
Gemini and Anthropic APIs wired into user-facing flows — an in-app travel assistant and a live demo chat, with prompt work behind both.
Founder's habits
Two ventures started from scratch. I scope, build, launch, and then deal with everything launching breaks.
Teams and stages
Core team for the Chorus event at Sharda two years running, hackathon and workshop regular, and a podcast host who has to make people comfortable on camera.

What I build with
Everything here is something I've used to ship or maintain a live product — not a list of tutorials I finished.

Sathimate
Founder & Full-Stack Developer
A travel social platform for planning group trips and splitting what they cost, with an AI assistant that answers destination and itinerary questions without leaving the app.
An AI image generation and editing services platform, built around a black-and-gold design system and a demo you can talk to before you sign up for anything.
Live in-browser AI demo chat on the Anthropic API
Service pages for generation, photo editing, brand visuals
A YouTube podcast where I interview founders and CEOs about how they actually built the thing. I run concept, production, scripting and publishing myself.
Every group trip has the same two problems: nobody agrees on a plan, and one person ends up
covering the bill and chasing everyone for weeks. Sathimate was built to remove both.
Vision
Travel planning that feels like a group chat, not a spreadsheet — with the money already sorted out.
Mission
Give small groups one place to plan a trip, split what it costs, and get real answers about where they're going.
The problem
Plans scattered across chats and notes, unequal spending nobody wants to bring up, and generic travel advice that doesn't fit the trip you're actually taking.
Phase 01 — Foundation
Get the core loop working
Auth, trip creation, shared itineraries and cost splitting on Firebase. The bar was simple: could a real group plan a real trip in it, start to finish.
Phase 02 — Intelligence
Add the travel assistant
Integrated Gemini so destination and itinerary questions get answered inside the app instead of sending people to a search tab.
Phase 03 — Reach
Ship it to phones
Packaged the web app for Android with Capacitor and went through the Play Store release process — store listing, signing, review and all.
Phase 04 — Next
Growth and retention
Deeper social features, smarter budget splitting, and getting the app in front of student travel groups first — the people who feel this problem hardest.

Shipping a Next.js app to the Play Store with Capacitor
Everything between "it works on Vercel" and a signed Android build sitting in review — the config that bites you, the assets Google insists on, and what I'd set up differently from day one.
Wiring Gemini into Sathimate was the easy half. Getting answers that respect the trip someone already planned — that took prompt work, context passing, and a lot of deleting.

Why I gave Archai a black-and-gold design system
Picking a visual identity before writing components sounds backwards. It saved me weeks, and it's the reason the product looks like one thing instead of five.

Firebase for cost splitting: what I got wrong first
Splitting money between people is a data modelling problem long before it's a UI problem. My first Firestore schema fell apart the moment someone left a trip.
