At Turntabl, he maintains and enhances Java-based applications and has contributed to cross-platform mobile development using React Native. Independently, he built CampusClaim, a lost-and-found application for his university featuring image-based search powered by FAISS and CLIP with a progressive web app interface, and Define Me, a Chrome extension for word definitions built with TypeScript and Manifest V3 service workers. He holds a First Class Honors degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Mines and Technology and is an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner. He is well suited for junior to mid-level roles involving backend development, mobile applications, or web tooling projects.
CampusClaim is a mobile app that helps university students recover lost belongings and return found items to their rightful owners. Losing personal items on a large campus – phones, wallets, ID cards, textbooks, and keys – is common, but there's usually no easy way to report a loss or check if someone found it. CampusClaim solves this by giving students a shared, searchable space to report and reunite lost property. It allows students to post a lost or found item with details like category, location, date, photos, and an optional reward and other students to search for matching items by typing a description or uploading a photo of the item It handles the claiming process, asking the claimant to verify ownership (unique features, where/when it was lost) before connecting them with the person who found it Opens a direct chat between the finder and the claimant to arrange handover Sends push notifications so users know when someone claims their item or messages them Supports quick, familiar sign-in through university credentials or Google, so students don't need to create yet another account from scratch
ITG is a web platform that connects job seekers, including people with disabilities, to inclusive employers and gives companies the tools to post jobs and manage applicants. Many capable job seekers, particularly those with disabilities, struggle to find employers who are genuinely set up to hire and support them, while inclusive employers often struggle to reach the right candidates. ITG solves this by creating a dedicated space where job seekers can showcase their skills and needs, and employers can post roles and connect with candidates who are a good fit. It lets job seekers build a profile (skills, resume, disability type, and preferred location) and search for matching jobs. It lets employers create a company profile and post job listings with requirements, salary, and deadlines. It also supports saving jobs and tracking applications from one dashboard, and gives employers tools to review and manage applicants. It includes admin verification for new companies and job seekers to keep the platform trustworthy. It handles self-serve account management — profiles, resumes, logos, passwords. It uses role-based access so each user sees only what's relevant to them.
