Projects
- Problem: Every college has long standing traditions of Yearbook and Scrapbook for the graduating students to celebrate memories of their college days. The pandemic made it impossible to have these traditions for the Class of 2020 & 2021.
- Solution: Developed a platform for a virtual yearbook and scrapbook experience, giving grads a way to close out their fantastic journeys, bid adieu to their friends and have a keepsake for their time in college.
- Impact: GradGoggles started for the Class of 2020 in VIT Pune, then expanded to colleges like BITS Goa, SDCH Chhatisgarh, VIIT Pune, and others for the Class of 2021. As of now, there are 2000+ grads from 5 different colleges who have posted 18,000+ memories on each others' profiles.
- Problem: Smaller schools, tuition classes, lacked an affordable way to conduct remote examinations while preventing the students from resorting to malpractice. Most of them used Google Forms to conduct examinations, which led to loss of integrity of the exams conducted.
- Solution: Developed a platform which used techniques like Browser Lockdown, Automated Virtual Proctoring using Real Time Face Detection, Object Detection, Head Pose Detection to allow conducting cheating free examinations.
- Tech Stack: Used ReactJS for the Student and Educator web apps. Designed a monorepo based architecture using Yarn and Lerna and developed a design system to increase code sharing between the two CRA apps.
- Problem: I started my website in 2018, but at that time, it was a WordPress based blog that lacked customization. It lacked performance and needed a PHP & MySQL server to keep it running. Also, the process of making new posts was very slow.
- Solution: Redesigned the website and used GatsbyJS to create a static website which had much better performance and SEO, due to Gatsby being statically generated, which can be hosted for free.
- Also implemented a blog system using MDX and Gatsby to allow frictionless posting of new blogs while also allowing rich content using MDX.
