ABOUT ME
Understanding Problems First
Understanding Problems First
A personal philosophy centered on workflow discovery, observation, and simple tools.
I'm a Data Science & AI undergraduate at IIT Guwahati who loves building tools that make everyday work easier.
Rather than building technology for its own sake, I start by understanding the problem, observing how people work, and identifying friction. I enjoy combining product thinking, clean design, and AI automation to create software that feels natural, useful, and simple.
