Braggi Election Management System is built for those contesting in elections. It aims to help leaders better manage their party workers to ensure faster reach and acquisition of voters. Also since it's me, under the hood there's some fancy AI magic happening too! After undergoing a major rewrite and taking the learnings from the success of the previous iteration, this is now capable of handling Country-wide voter data as well as multiple national parties from a single platform.

A stealth project that I am currently working on in parallel with my other projects, It is in the Health & Fitness domain. This is a project that I am very excited about.

A full ActivityPub Server Implementation built in Rust, without any external dependencies. the ActivityPub protocol is a W3C standard, this allows for interoperability with other ActivityPub implementations such as Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed, etc. This repo could be used to bootstrap a basic ActivityPub platform that could sync with the previously mention services as well.

This was the first project that I built, which was out of my domain, the platform "MeeVote", is an Election Management System, built for those contesting in elections.

During the lockdown, marketing is difficult, and getting work done remotely has been equally difficult, so I started working on a new project. Braggi's Shopping Slots platform took 2 weeks to build, it allows it's users to book a slot to shop at their local grocery store, the platform handles queues and allows shop owners to decide how many people they can accomodate on an hourly basis at their store, while ensuring that social distancing is followed. This was a fun project, because I deployed it much more quickly than anything before, while constantly working with the changing situations due to the pandemic, it's helped me greatly with my ability to understand the market as a whole and it's needs during times like these.

Built a production quality chatbot service paired with cross-platform apps build on React and Flutter.

A smart electric meter add-on that connects to a standard electric meter and reports all usage metrics to a local hub which makes the data available via a mobile app and also to administration. Qualified for the CBSE National Science Fair's National level with this project!
