competitions & wins:


won first prize among 350+ projects and 4000+ participants. prize: ₹10,000 + 15 .xyz domains + sponsor credits. results took over a month to announce but worth the wait. reused dermora.ai concept with major improvements — refined and retrained deep learning model from scratch, refactored entire backend from django to fastapi, built first android app (.apk). fun experience showing the .apk app around to people.



received the special mention award and won ₹10,000. built prism motion, an ai-powered video production pipeline for pharma companies, designed to generate compliant, scalable medical communication content on demand. we chose one of the most complex problem statements in the room. no shortcuts.



36-hour online grind. we couldn't fully complete our original idea, so we reused bloop — and it worked. won $50 for best blog. the unfinished project? i'm definitely bringing it back somewhere better.



my team secured 1st place overall at the national-level hackathon organized by jazzee technologies. we built dermora.ai, a psychoderma wellness tool linking mental health and skin health. yes, that's me receiving the award from dr. debi prasad dogra, associate professor and hod, department of computer science and engineering, iit bhubaneswar. the win was featured in the official iit bhubaneswar press release and even covered in an odia newspaper. one of those "this is real" moments.



won spark 7, securing rank 1 in punjab at chitkara university. we built opulrent, a decentralized renting and buying platform on ethereum, blending web3 and ai. we didn't win at the national level — and that's where i learned something important: in hackathons, ideas matter more than complexity. clarity beats chaos.


secured 1st prize after a long drought. built bloop, a text-to-video generation platform for stem learning. won ₹10k in amazon credits and, more importantly, regained momentum.
* onto much more.
