Hi, I'm Aadesh 👋
From Code to Companies. I build, I break, I learn. Passionate about AI, cloud, and the startup grind.

About

I started coding in 2020 — dabbling in ethical hacking, arduino, app dev, and web dev (basically, breaking things until they worked). In 2022, I joined UMD to pursue a B.S. in Computer Science (ML specialization), crashed 10+ hackathons (won 80%), and launched 3 startups—one flopped, one's steady, and one raised $50K. My biggest venture launches this month. Oh, and I’m graduating a year early — turns out, when you love building, you move fast. 🚀

Swottle

October 2024 - Ongoing
Founder
Swottle is a university-based platform that helps students explore nearby places, connect with others, and manage events efficiently. It is built with a highly scalable backend architecture using Cloud SQL (MySQL) for relational data management, Redis (Google Memorystore) for low-latency messaging and feed updates, and Google Cloud Storage for media handling. The platform leverages Cloud Run for containerized services, Firebase Realtime Database for real-time notifications, and Redis Pub/Sub for instant messaging. The front end is developed using Flutter, integrating seamlessly with RESTful APIs to ensure a smooth and responsive experience across Android and iOS devices. Security is enforced through OAuth and Firebase Authentication, while performance is optimized with SQL query indexing, Redis caching, and local storage via ObjectBox to minimize cloud costs.
