ABOUT
One foot in software.
One in the real world.
I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech at Parul University while building early-stage products and learning by shipping. At Philoi, my work brings software and hardware together—from safety-focused devices for two-wheelers to connected industrial systems.
I’m interested in applied AI, product development, startups, and systematic trading. Away from a screen, I enjoy photography and visual design.
SELECTED WORK
Things I’m building
Projects from my work in deep tech, software, AI, and markets.
02FIELD OPERATIONS · AGRITECH
SMIDI Grow ↗
I built SMIDI Grow for SMIDI Fertilizers, a plant-nutrition company. It brings the field team’s daily work into one mobile workflow.
- Coordinate: organize dealer and farmer visits with live GPS tracking.
- Manage: support field-agent operations and order workflows.
- Review: give teams reports and field analytics to follow activity.
The Android APK has been distributed to users and is in use; a broader release is planned.
03AI · CYBERSECURITY
CyberSecure AI SOC Dashboard ↗
Analyze network-flow records to surface suspicious activity, classify intrusion risk, and help an analyst review likely threats.
- Detect: score uploaded flow data and group likely attack patterns.
- Respond: recommend actions such as monitoring, IP blocking, or SOC escalation by severity.
- Explain: review model signals with SHAP and inspect a hash-linked audit history.
Current prototype analyzes uploaded datasets. It recommends response actions; it does not monitor live websites or enforce firewall blocks.
04AI · TRAVEL
PackVote
A group-trip planning concept exploring how AI can help friends compare options and decide together.
- Collect: bring group preferences into one planning flow.
- Compare: explore destinations and options against shared priorities.
- Decide: make it easier for a group to converge on a plan.

05AI · COMPUTER VISION
AI crop disease detector
A computer-vision concept focused on helping farmers identify possible crop disease from leaf images.
- Capture: use a leaf photo as the starting point for a check.
- Classify: explore image-based disease recognition.
- Design for access: plan an offline-first mobile experience for field use.
Concept · no public project repository yet
06IOT · INDUSTRIAL
SmartEdge IoT platform
An industrial-monitoring concept combining connected sensors with local and cloud-based analysis.
- Connect: collect readings from industrial sensors.
- Analyze at the edge: explore local inference and anomaly detection.
- Monitor: plan a dashboard for equipment and sensor status.
Concept · no public project repository yet
07PYTHON · TRADING TOOLS
Delta Exchange P&L Content Toolkit ↗
A Python toolkit for recording daily trade outcomes and producing share-ready content for a trading challenge.
- Record: log daily P&L, market, position side, leverage, and notes.
- Create: generate vertical reels, story graphics, and captions.
- Review: preview and download assets in a local dashboard.
A content and tracking toolkit; it does not execute trades or provide investment advice.
08PYTHON · MACHINE LEARNING
Heart Disease Risk Checker ↗
An educational machine-learning project that explores clinical features to estimate risk. The repository reports an XGBoost model at 82% accuracy on its included dataset.
- Compare: evaluate nine models against the included dataset.
- Explore: review model performance and diagnostic plots.
- Estimate: use health-related inputs to demonstrate prediction workflows.
For learning and demonstration only; it is not a clinical tool or medical advice.
09AI · VIDEO SEARCH
VideoSearch · AI Video Search ↗
A local video-search workflow that turns spoken content into searchable, timestamped results.
- Transcribe: extract spoken words from video with speech recognition.
- Search: find phrases and semantically related passages in a collection.
- Navigate: inspect matching timestamps and ask questions about the videos.
Project titles and source links open the relevant public repository. SMIDI Grow links to its live app and company site. Concepts without a published codebase are clearly labeled.
