I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.

nodara.network

nodara.network

Active
July 2025 - Present

A lightweight protocol for renting verifiable micro-functions from smartphones, enabling trust-minimized execution and crypto-native monetization. Think of it as AWS Lambda meets mobile DePIN — phones earn yield by performing tasks like uptime checks, presence proofs, and data collection, while dApps pay per use in SOL/SPL. Includes a mobile SDK, smart contract suite, and global device registry.

Hackathons

Building excites me

During my time in university, I competed in multiple hackathons, where people from all over the country came together to build incredible things within just 2-3 days.

  • C

    CVMU Hackathon 2.0

    Gujarat, India

    Built a cross-platform application named ExpenShare that tracks expenses, supports group-based expense splitting, and automatically detects transactional messages (like SMS) for real-time logging into a secure backend system. The app streamlines financial collaboration and was awarded Best Data Hack.

  • C

    CVMU Hackathon 3.0

    Gujarat, India

    Developed PLUTUS, an automated crypto investment platform that uses dollar-cost averaging (DCA) for smarter portfolio management. The platform integrates with the Solana blockchain to ensure secure transactions, and features real-time market updates, token launch alerts, and a user-centric investment dashboard.
