Once upon a time in Nalanda...
From casting metals in a foundry to weaving logic in the cloud. This is the story of how I built my world, one line of code at a time.
I was born in Nalanda, a place echoing with history. My early days were spent in Ekangar Sarai, grounded in simple values.
Life shifted gears when I moved to Patna in the 2nd grade. From New Standard Academy to the halls of Sir Ganesh Dutt Patliputra School, I was a curious observer. By the time I reached College of Commerce for my I.Sc, I knew I wanted to build things. I dedicated a year to the rigorous forge of IIT JEE preparation—a fire that would shape my future.
I entered the gates of IIT BHU to study Metallurgical Engineering. I dove deep into phase transformations, X-ray diffraction, and the fiery art of the foundry.
But I saw patterns in the metal. I began applying Neural Networks to metallurgy, predicting material behaviors with code. It was here, amidst the sparks of welding and the hum of magnetic devices, that I co-founded Clean Electric. We took an old ICE vehicle and gave it a new heart—converting it into an Electric Vehicle.
Leaving the foundry behind, I embraced the abstract world of logic. At Beehyv, I mastered Springboot and Android, building robust backends. But the itch to create something of my own was too strong.
Crafting seamless web experiences using Spring Boot. Learning the discipline of production-grade code.
I founded DineScape. We connected restaurants with influencers, organized events, and brought culinary stories to life online.
Then, the world stopped turning (Covid-19).
When the pandemic hit, I joined Care India. My code wasn't just for users anymore; it was for frontline warriors.
A Flutter app for ASHA workers to track pregnant women and monitor weak newborns (WNB), scheduling critical care visits.
Organized masked calls between rural beneficiaries and health officials, bridging the gap when distance was mandatory.
Returning to Clean Electric, I wasn't just a developer. I became an architect of physical-digital systems.
Interfaced production machines with CAN communication. Data flowed directly from battery cyclers to our dashboards.
Built a custom Flutter app for the factory floor, backed by Django. Workers used it to build cylindrical and prismatic battery packs.
Set up Odoo ERP for complete material tracking. We knew where every screw and cell was on the production line.
Every great story needs a next chapter. I am currently looking for new opportunities to write mine. Shall we collaborate?
