Student · Creator · Innovator
Hi, I'm Shashwat.
I build thoughtful digital experiences.
A student focused on creating thoughtful digital experiences and exploring the intersection of literature, startups, and intentional design.
Selected work
A few systems I've built. Each one solves a real problem for real people.
FOMO
Fear Of Missing Out
Problem
People struggle to find relevant events, connect with others having similar interests and are not able to stay updated about the events happening. Information was scattered across multiple platforms.
Approach
Built a centralized platform with event discovery and interest-based groups.Focused on intuitive filtering and minimal friction.
SecondMind - AI Pendant Wearable System
Turning Unintentional Thoughts Into Structured Intelligence
Problem
Human thoughts and conversations are unstructured and get lost before they can be converted into actionable insights.
Approach
Built a wearable AI system that captures real-world speech and converts it into structured, actionable insights (tasks, summaries, ideas) using an end-to-end hardware + AI pipeline.
Research and Publication
Academic contributions, papers, and findings.
Development of a Real Time Multi-Modal Sensor for Field-Based Microplastic Detection
Proposed a real-time multimodal sensing system combining optical sensing, impedance analysis, and machine learning for field-deployable microplastic detection.
Key Contributions:
- Multimodal sensor fusion combining optical sensing and impedance analysis
- Machine learning integration for real-time detection and classification
- Field-deployable system designed for practical environmental monitoring
- Real-time processing capabilities for on-site microplastic detection

About
I'm a college student who builds platforms, systems, and tools that connect people and simplify complex processes. I care about outcomes, not just outputs.
My work often sits at the intersection of structure and simplicity. I think deeply about how systems scale, how users navigate flows, and how decisions compound over time.
Beyond code, I'm drawn to literature, reflection, and long-form thinking. I believe the best builders are also students of human behavior, clear communication, and intentional design.
I'm interested in early-stage startups, open-source collaboration, and opportunities where I can learn by doing. If you're building something meaningful, I'd love to hear about it.
Let's talk
I'm open to internships, research opportunities, open-source collaborations, and early-stage projects. If you're working on something interesting, reach out.
