About

I'm Dev, founder of Pixelact Studio, an AI-focused software development studio. I work across the stack and pick up new tools fast, so the tech itself is rarely what slows me down. I care more about building things that stick around than chasing quick launches, and most of my time goes into growing Pixelact into a company that lasts. I genuinely like the work too, which helps on the long days.

Hackathons

I like building things

Only done one hackathon so far, but it stuck with me. A few people, a few cans of caffeine, and 48 hours to drag a half-baked idea into something that somehow worked.

Technothon

Technothon

GCET, Greater Noida

My one and only hackathon, hosted at my college GCET. My team built a computer-vision system for autonomous drones: the drone reads the ground through its camera, finds suitable spots, and drops seeds, aimed at planting trees in remote areas people can't easily reach. We took the idea from concept to a working execution and finished in the top 5 teams.
