My Journey

I'm a Computer Science student at Gujarat Technological University (graduating 2027) and CTO of Knight Medicare — an AI therapy platform built with a Harvard PhD psychologist covering 27 disorders and 10 therapy types. I also serve as Software Engineer & Local Director at Open Paws, building AI tools for animal advocacy.

I founded Open Permit — a civic intelligence platform live across 8+ countries with 200+ permits and 40 legal frameworks — and The Adventurers Guild, a gamified developer marketplace with 500+ users. NASA Space Apps Global Finalist, hackathon veteran, and currently exploring quantitative finance and gaming/investment consulting.
