The Evidence
Six projects built end to end — real screenshots, source linked.
Exhibit A
Machine learning · recommender system
Content-based movie recommender built on cosine similarity across genre, cast and director features. Live metadata pulled from the TMDB API; recommendation quality validated through informal testing with friends who were not shy with feedback.
first project where the maths mattered more than the UI.

Exhibit B
Interactive algorithm visualiser
A visualiser for sorting, graph and pathfinding algorithms — bubble, merge, quick sort, BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, A* — with speed controls and a terminal-style UI. Built to make the steps visible, not just the answer.
built for exam prep, kept because it actually worked.

Exhibit C
Project dashboard · kanban
A dark-themed developer workspace with dashboard, kanban board and project views. Componentised React structure with search, notifications and auth scaffolding — the first app where the layout system finally clicked.
the project where component structure finally clicked.

Exhibit D
Real-time chat · multi-room
Full-stack real-time chat with a cyberpunk access screen and live rooms. Built to understand bi-directional communication properly — concurrent users, join/leave events and message broadcasting.
websockets learned the hard way, by breaking them repeatedly.

Exhibit E
Web scraper · retro UI
A pixel-era scraping tool: paste a URL, pick headings, links, images or tables, and pull the content. Built so he wouldn't rewrite the same throwaway scraper every other week.
replaced roughly six disposable scripts.

Exhibit F
Document parse · minimal UI
A clean document workspace for uploading and parsing CVs or files — drop zone first, chrome second. Focused on a calm editorial interface rather than another noisy SaaS shell.
the UI was the product this time.

Final-year CSE student. Coursework on the record: Data Structures & Algorithms, DBMS, Operating Systems, Computer Networks and OOP.
2024 — Present
Delivered small client projects — landing pages, portfolio sites, simple tools — owning the process from initial brief through deployment. Learned to translate vague requirements into working products.
2025 — Present
Six projects shipped end-to-end with no tutorials and no starter templates. Most skills on this page were acquired by building, breaking and fixing.
2026 — Now
Deliberately building an AI/ML foundation on top of an existing software engineering base. Currently looking for an internship where both get used from day one.
