01 Mission: build ideas that survive beyond the presentation.

IoT systems Product thinking Rapid prototyping Web products Machine learning Robotics

Selected work · 2024—26

Products built around real problems.

From protecting stored grain to making digital writing feel natural, each project starts with a practical need and ends in something testable.

01 National selection · 2025—26

IoT · Agriculture · Hardware

Anaaj Rakshak Tag

A compact IoT concept designed to spot risky grain-storage conditions early—before avoidable loss becomes irreversible.

The problem

Storage risks often become visible too late. Grain needs continuous, simple environmental monitoring.

The build

A sensor-based tag that reads conditions, processes thresholds, logs data, and can trigger alerts.

The proof

Selected for the National Exhibition of CBSE 2025—26.

Ledger X digital ledger hardware prototype

02 National selection · 2025—26

Embedded hardware · Cloud · Commerce

Ledger X

An affordable digital ledger direction for small shops—fast at the counter, simple to learn, and backed by structured cloud records.

The problem

Small businesses need useful records without the cost and complexity of a full POS setup.

The build

A dedicated input device paired with local storage, cloud sync, and an understandable dashboard.

The direction

Designed to extend into printing, barcode scanning, and UPI or QR workflows.

Inkyscib writing and sketching web application

03 Live product

Web app · Canvas · Productivity

Inkyscib

A distraction-free writing and sketching tool engineered to feel accurate and natural across mouse, pen, and touch.

The focus

Precise pointer mapping, consistent strokes, and an interface that stays out of the user's way.

The experience

Notes, diagrams, imports, and freehand writing in one responsive browser workspace.

My role

Founder and product builder, shaping both the interaction model and the implementation.

04 Research prototype

Machine learning · Computer vision · Research

PneumoX

A supervised-learning exploration of chest X-ray classification, with visual explanations that help inspect what the model is seeing.

The pipeline

Dataset preparation, augmentation, EfficientNetB0 training, fine-tuning, and evaluation.

The interface

A desktop prediction flow with Grad-CAM overlays for single-image inspection.

The boundary

A research-focused classifier—not a clinical diagnostic tool.

Beyond the build

I care about the distance between “good idea” and “it works.”

I build beyond the presentation: reliable prototypes, clear interfaces, and systems that make sense. The goal is always the same—solve a real problem, make the solution usable, then improve it until it can grow.

Building with people

Start with the human problem.

Useful products begin with context, constraints, and the people who will actually use them.

Prototype across layers.

Sensors, hardware, interfaces, cloud systems, or models—the medium follows the problem.

Make the thinking visible.

A strong build should be testable, explainable, and clear enough for others to carry forward.

Have a hard problem worth building?

Let's turn the “what if”
into “here it is.”

If you're building something ambitious across products, hardware, AI, or the web, I'd love to hear about it.
