My Story

I'm an ambitious full-stack developer and IB student with a passion for building AI-powered solutions that actually solve real problems. My journey into tech started with a curiosity about how things work, which quickly evolved into a drive to create things that make a difference.

As the Co-Founder of TidalTasks, I lead the development of an intelligent scheduling platform that helps students manage their time more effectively. What started as a personal frustration with existing productivity tools has grown into a platform with over 200 monthly active users and a $1,000 grant from the Waterloo Youth Creativity Fund.

Beyond TidalTasks, I've worked as a Software Engineer Intern at TMAS Academy, built websites for local businesses (generating $2,000+ in freelance revenue), and developed custom solutions for nonprofits like Youth Venture International. I've also won multiple hackathons, including Best Use of MongoDB at SproutHacks and 3rd place overall at Neodev.

When I'm not coding, you can find me playing chess (1700 rated on Chess.com), practicing guitar, or at the gym. I speak four languages: English, Gujarati, Hindi, and some French.
