I’m excited to share that I was elected President of Duke Technify this past spring and began leading the organization over the summer.

Technify is a student-led organization at Duke University that connects students with nonprofits to develop technical solutions that advance social impact. Our teams design and build websites, data tools, and software that help organizations operate more efficiently and expand their reach.

As President, I oversee project development, manage client partnerships, and guide students in applying their technical skills to real-world challenges. I’m excited to continue growing Technify’s impact and fostering collaboration between technology and social good.

I am excited to announce that through my recent acceptance into Duke’s Technify, a company that connects students with non-profit organizations and social enterprises through pro bono tech projects, I will be partnering with the The Paryavaran Shala (School for Environment) in India. This initiative is dedicated to integrating nature-based solutions into Anganwadi centers and government schools.

I will be working as a software engineer, developing a website that will serve as a resource hub and spread awareness. The website will include four primary features: research repository, case studies, pilot projects, and geotagging for impact. The research repository will provide accessible, in-depth research on nature-based solutions and their impact on education environments. The case studies will showcase exemplary schools and Anganwadi that have successfully implemented nature-based interventions, offering practical insights for replication. The pilot projects will highlight pilot interventions at selected schools, documenting their implementation process, challenges and positive impacts. We will develop a page using geotagging technology to map potential schools where NbS interventions could be made and visualize the possible environmental, educational and community impact.

I am honored to have this opportunity and looking forward to the impact we make.

AI-powered X monitoring agent that uses TypeScript and the ElizaOS framework. The system features a plugin-based architecture that integrates the X API v2 for tweet ingestion and filtering, the OpenRouter LLM API for draft generation and analysis, and Discord for real-time notifications. I also implemented a custom relevance scoring algorithm using rubrics and knowledge graphs to prioritize highly relevant information.
