I build systems people use, and the backend behind them.

Swap Your Book

A book-for-book exchange app. List a book with an optional photo, search by title or area, and send another reader a swap request.

Readers can accept requests and chat in the app. JWT authentication and bcrypt protect sign-in; MongoDB stores books, requests and messages. Photo uploads are resized and re-encoded on the server, and an in-app notification bell checks for updates.

Sarathi

Sarathi is a scholarship list for Karnataka students. It puts 20+ schemes in one list: amount, last date, eligibility, and the documents to carry.

Filters narrow the list, each scheme has a document checklist, and local reminders fire 7, 3 and 1 days before the deadline. Built for a quick glance, not a long read.

SchemaDrift

Paste two versions of a database schema, SQL or JSON, and SchemaDrift lists every change and marks it breaking, review or safe. Dropped columns, NOT NULL traps, narrowed types, new unique constraints.

BREAKING  users.phone      dropped
BREAKING  orders.note      NOT NULL added
REVIEW    users.name       VARCHAR(100)→(50)
SAFE      orders.coupon    column added

There is a small JSON API so it can run as a CI check, and the diff logic is covered by 27 tests.

Campus Connect

A department platform with three roles: student, lecturer and admin. Lecturers create courses and upload learning materials. Students enroll and open what they need.

JWT auth with bcrypt, file uploads, server-rendered pages with Next.js, and an Express and MongoDB backend. I also added an AI course assistant: students ask questions about the uploaded PDFs and DOCX files and get answers with source citations (embeddings and retrieval with Gemini), and each material can generate a summary and a short quiz.

Wanderlust

Browse places to stay, post your own, and leave reviews. Each listing has uploaded photos, a marker on the map and a star rating.

Node and Express on the server, EJS views, MongoDB for data and Cloudinary for images.

Open source, fixed in public.

How I work, and where.
