Hello, I'm Kirtan — a CSE student who likes making ideas work in the real world.

I build useful
things.

From browser tabs to breadboards, I design software and hardware that solve a clear problem—and I care about how the result feels to use.

01 — Selected work

Built to leave the
notebook.

Projects where software meets a real constraint: a sensor, a workflow, a person, or a problem worth untangling.

02 — About me

I learn best by
making the thing.

I'm as happy debugging a web socket as I am tuning a robot that refuses to take a clean corner.

I am a passionate Computer Science Engineering student at CSPIT, CHARUSAT University, with a deep interest in algorithmic problem-solving, robotics, and cybersecurity. Currently in my 2nd year of B.Tech CSE, I focus on building efficient solutions and exploring the intersection of hardware and software.

That mix of software and hardware keeps me honest: every idea eventually has to work outside the diagram.

Values & HeritageBAPS Swaminarayan Culture
“In the joy of others, lies our own.”— Brahmaswarup Pramukh Swami Maharaj

Guided by principles of selfless service (seva), humility, and universal harmony. Deeply inspired by historic volunteer-driven landmarks like the BAPS Hindu Mandir in Abu Dhabi (2024) and BAPS Swaminarayan Akshardham in New Jersey (2023) as living proof of what united human dedication can build.
