I've Built
Independent products built from scratch — no team, no funding, no brief. Each one started as a genuine need, grew into something real, and reached tens of thousands of users.
Built entirely solo — design, development, data curation, and distribution. Covers curriculum analysis, AI replaceability scores, recruiter insights, and a branch vs college comparison engine for 220+ branches across India.
Currently the most detailed resource of its kind in India, with 20,000+ active users.
campusloom.in ↗The first version of CampusLoom operated as a community-led guidance platform where JEE aspirants could connect with verified IITians and NITians for unfiltered college insights.
Served as the proof-of-concept that validated the need for what became CampusLoom 2.0.
The first platform built — a structured JEE notes repository started at age 14 with no budget, no team, and no precedent. Grew to 30,000+ users through organic search and student referrals.
The beginning of everything that followed: proof that a solo builder with the right idea can reach tens of thousands of students.
Built on the foundation of NOTE-IT, Learnoclub expanded into a comprehensive JEE preparation platform with notes, resources, and structured content for aspirants across the country.
Scaled to 50,000+ monthly users at its peak — all without paid marketing. Sunset after joining IIT Hyderabad and shifting focus to CampusLoom.
A mentorship platform built during the first-year break to bridge the gap between incoming college students and verified seniors at IITs, NITs, and other top institutions.
Structured for real guidance on college decisions, branch selection, and academic preparation — filling a gap no other platform was addressing at the time.
IIT Hyderabad
Every platform here started with a real problem on campus. Spotted a gap, designed a solution, and shipped it — using personal server space, personal domains, and personal time.
Students at IITH had no centralised place to find past exam papers. This platform solved that: a searchable catalog of previous question papers, filterable by branch, academic year, and course name.
Grown to 1,500+ active users across all departments. Still live and in active use.

IIT Hyderabad was processing merchandise orders through Google Forms. This store replaced it entirely: Razorpay integration, automated order reports, and a clean frontend for students and faculty.
Delivered in 3 weeks, solo — completing what the 30-member coding club couldn't ship.
store.iith.online ↗
Students at IITH were registering for hostel mess using a COVID vaccination portal — a workaround that had outlived its purpose. This custom portal replaced it with a dedicated flow for registration, allocation, and record-keeping.
Built solo, faster and cleaner than anything that existed before.
One of India's fastest-growing IITs had no public presence for its athletics program. This platform gives the track and field team a permanent home: medal records, event highlights, athlete profiles, and an achievements gallery.
Built as Athletics Coordinator to give the program the visibility it had earned on the field.

Sports-related requests — equipment, bookings, facilities — were being raised informally with no tracking or accountability. This portal introduced a structured ticketing system where students can submit queries, track status, and expect resolution.
Brought clarity and accountability to a process that previously depended entirely on word of mouth.
For the Institute Athletics League, athlete team selection was being done manually via projected Google Slides — underwhelming for a high-stakes event.
This platform reimagined it: IPL-inspired live bidding, live purse tracking, team dashboards, and dynamic athlete cards. Turned routine selection into a genuinely exciting event.
When IITH's ERP portal went down, started building a replacement from scratch. A working prototype was completed, handling the core student-facing functionality the original system provided.
The most architecturally complex system built to date — paused due to infrastructure scaling constraints, not technical limitations.
