Case Studies

Detailed engineering breakdowns of select projects — the architecture decisions, the problems that didn't show up until testing, and what each build taught me. Written for anyone evaluating the engineering behind the demo, not just the demo itself.

01

Janata Voice: A Bilingual Civic-Reporting Platform

Letting citizens report civic issues with a photo and a map pin and track them through a resolution pipeline — the schema decisions that make it trustworthy, and an experimental Nepali speech-to-text prototype.

02

SPIDER: THE AETHER — Disaster-Zone Reconnaissance Robot

A four-legged, Wi-Fi-controlled robot built for terrain that stops wheeled platforms — gait design, sensor fusion, and the power-isolation bug that nearly derailed the build.

03

Designing a Violation-Processing System: UML & Data Flow

How use-case modeling, ER design, and data-flow diagrams shaped a real-world automated traffic-violation and e-challan pipeline before a line of pipeline code was written.

04

Manoratha: A Mental-Wellness Platform Built in One Hackathon Sprint

Combining a counselor-client portal, in-browser AI emotion detection, real-time chat, and stress-relief games into one platform for Nepalese youth — and the scope discipline that made it shippable in 24 hours.

05

SmartFarming: An End-to-End Pipeline from Sensor to Dashboard

An ESP32 sensor node, a PHP/MySQL ingestion layer, a Flask dashboard, and a weighted k-NN crop recommender — four independently built pieces and the integration lessons in getting them to agree.
