Things I've Built (or Am Building)

I like building stuff that makes people go “Oh, this actually works.” Sometimes that stuff helps lawyers. Sometimes it helps civil engineers. And sometimes… it just exists because my brain wouldn’t shut up until I made it.

ArnoAI — Legal AI for People Who Bill by the Hour

A generative AI tool for lawyers that helps them stop wasting hours on grunt work. Drafts, researches, strategizes. I built and architected the whole thing, lead a team of 4, partnered with IBM, and we’re now chatting with a major Indian law publisher. Not bad for a student startup.

Slowcialize — The Social Media App That Doesn’t Ruin Your Brain

A weekly email-based platform that cuts out the algorithmic dopamine slot machine. No feeds, no likes, no doomscrolling. Just meaningful updates from people you actually care about. Somehow, 300+ people thought this was a good idea.

StethoSociety — Med School, But Cooler

A platform to help medical students get real-world exposure faster. Built everything from the backend to UI/UX. Got an acquisition offer, but I politely said, “Hold my coffee — I have other plans.”

Rigid Pavement Design Software — Roads, But Smarter

Built a pavement design tool compliant with Indian Road Congress codes (IRC:58-2015, IRC:117-2014). It’s simple, clean, and probably better than that Excel sheet the highway department has been using since 2003.

Non-Destructive Imaging — X-Ray Vision (for Concrete)

Leading research on using electromagnetic waves to detect seepage paths in concrete. Filed a patent. Talked to professors. Accidentally felt like Tony Stark for five minutes.

YouTube — Ideas, Stories, and Stuff That Matters

A channel where I talk about the things nobody told us — from college hacks to deeper reflections on ambition, building, burnout, and doing meaningful work. Think of it as a lo-fi mix of advice, insight, and occasional chaos. Check it out here.

The After-Hours Project — Maggi, Mics, and Mind-blowing Students

A podcast where I sit down with students doing wild, beautiful, and ambitious things — all over a plate of Maggi. Real conversations, no frills. Just stories worth listening to. Watch on YouTube.

More coming soon — some weird, some useful, all mildly chaotic.


Minor Things, Major Fun

A playground of experiments, half-baked tools, and “maybe one day” ideas. Not polished. Not perfect. But 100% me.

A Chrome extension that makes saving and opening links stupidly easy and fast. Surprisingly useful.
🛠️ Tool
Pauses your browser tab to remind you to breathe and not spiral. You’re welcome.
🛠️ Tool
Video Cleaner
Only keeps the parts of a video where something actually happens.
🧪 Experiment
Podcast Automation
Dozens of scripts to edit, timestamp, and organize my podcast. One even semi-edits the episode by itself.
🛠️ Tool
My old YouTube channel with technical builds and logic. Pure joy. Will return someday.
🎮 Game
3D Print Feed Optimizer
A script to optimize 3D print filament switching. Wrote it for a friend.

🎮 Game
Notion Digest Bot
Scripts that pulled from my Notion and sent me daily digests.
🛠️ Tool 🪦 Graveyard

An abandoned singing aid app. Built to fix my own musical crimes. Never launched.

Software for civil engineers to calculate pile foundation design. Solid stuff.
🛠️ Tool
Random Number Generator Research
A 12th-grade brainwave turned long-standing paper idea. Still waiting to write it up.
💡 Idea
SWD Tools
Wrote code for student operations during my time in the Student Welfare Division. Mostly held together by teamwork and duct tape.
🧪 Experiment
Vlog Auto-Editor
A script that attempts to edit vlogs automatically. Not perfect. Not done. But promising.
🧪 Experiment 🪦 Graveyard
StackOverflow Clone
A website like StackOverflow made during a hackathon. A bit rough, but it worked. Learnt now problematic nested comments can be.
🧪 Experiment
Gmail No-Subject Blocker
Unpublished extension that blocks sending emails without a subject. Productivity meets paranoia.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
College Network (Facebook-style)
Tried to build a social platform for college. Got halfway. Zuckerberg would've cried.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
Slowcialize Drafts
Before it became beautiful, it was ugly — two prototypes worth of ugly. But it got there.
🧪 Experiment
The Happiness Diary
A journaling platform built with a friend. Never launched but full of heart.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
Among Us Word Game
A game where one player doesn’t know the secret word. Built to explore sockets and social deception.

Fifth iteration of this very site. Yes, I'm that picky.
🛠️ Tool
Word Game Experiments
Scrambled opposites, definitions for songs, and linguistic chaos coded into playable form.

A competitive site where you and your friends can lose fake money in real time.
🎮 Game

A backend system that builds class timetables. Never finished the teacher-side logic.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
Second Keyboard (AHK Macro Pad)
Built a virtual second keyboard using AutoHotKey. Mapped out macros for editing, navigation, and multi-clipboard magic. Hugely boosted my workflow. Still use it every day.
🛠️ Tool
Calibre — Remote-Controlled PC Over Discord
During the pandemic, I built a Discord bot that let me (and my friends) control my PC, take screenshots, and remotely navigate it. A mix of fun, learning, and a bit of chaos.
🧪 Experiment
Medical Data Cleaner
When the U.S. made it mandatory for hospitals to publish pricing data, I wrote a tool to download and clean it. My first freelance gig — messy data, satisfying results.
💡 Idea
Twitter Bot for Lonely Streamers
A bot that tweeted about Twitch streamers with zero viewers. Built it for fun, ended up getting 13K karma on Reddit and 2K+ followers on Twitter. Internet’s weird like that.
🎮 Game
12th Grade Marks Calculator
When CBSE marks were released with a confusing formula, I made a simple tool to calculate total scores. Thousands used it. Sometimes code is just community service.
🛠️ Tool
CRM for a Dog Training Company (Built on Notion)
A crash course in Notion databases and formulas. Built a full CRM for a US-based dog training small business using just Notion. Fast, functional, and surprisingly robust.
🧪 Experiment
Automatic Quote Poster
My first ever project — made with a friend. It generated and posted quote images to Instagram. Slightly buggy, but built with love.
💡 Idea
Drawswap
Tried to build a web-based version of the game BuildSwap. Never finished, but it had potential.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
Email Extractor
Drop a list of URLs, get back all the emails on those pages. Built for a personal use case. Probably a legal grey zone — use responsibly.

Download Folder Sorter
A tiny script that organizes my chaotic downloads folder. Lifesaver when you’re juggling 10 gagillion files at once.
🛠️ Tool
Door-to-Door Data Collector
Simple tool for collecting data during field surveys. Made for someone doing grassroots work. Nothing fancy, but it worked.
💡 Idea
Chat Encoder/Decoder
An early encryption experiment. Wasn’t secure, wasn’t elegant, but hey — it was a start.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
TekTalks
My first full-fledged app — built in MIT App Inventor. It had a pedometer, voice assistant, calculator, mini-games... basically everything except subtlety.
🧪 Experiment
Arctic (Early Slowcialize Prototype)
The clunky ancestor of Slowcialize. Started with a friend. Didn’t ship, but paved the way for better things.
💡 Idea 🪦 Graveyard
Arduino & Hardware Projects
Early days. Blinking LEDs, random sensors, the usual. Nothing major — just a kid with a breadboard and a dream.
🎮 Game

I told you I can't sit still.

There are a few more things I can’t really talk about. Some that are too small. Some too silly. Some lost to time. And some I probably just forgot.
