person About Me
I'm Advait - a passionate computer science student with a keen interest in aviation and engineering.
Over the last few years, I have built a series of digital projects for a variety of clients across the globe - from storefront pages to tailor-made apps for badminton organisers. With each project, I constantly expand my reach and use of tools and technologies to make my next project even better. My web tech stack includes popular frameworks like SvelteKit, TailwindCSS, Typescript, Firebase and more. I'm also using Docker, Azure and Python to explore backend stacks and logic.
With each client I work with, I learn how to tailor and communicate our needs, ideas and logic even better.
Now, I'm studying for my A-Levels - and constantly eager to learn new things, new experiences and new insight.

My Projects
I started building websites friends & family out of passion, and it has turned into a professional service where I have worked with clients from the US, UK and India. Below are some of my past works.
AstroPi - Program for the ISS
Me and a partner designed a robust orbital speed calculation program for the ISS in the AstroPi Mission Space Lab challenge. On the 23rd of April 2025, our program was run on the International Space Station for two minutes, calculating its average speed at 8.0573 km/s over Madagascar. It utilised OpenCV to track changes of a series of images to reach this result.
Matchmaker
A badminton event management service, allowing for player tracking, game scheduling and advancement. Used by the UBC Badminton Tournament Glasgow to run their 36-team Badminton Open.
Adva Velo
A modern, sleek and robust journey-tracking app that tells its user various metrics during a journey. It is primarily designed for cyclists, featuring detailed route height elevation information and average speed recording.
Adva Invoicing
An invoicing system I built for myself to handle payments by multiple mediums, complete with the Stripe Checkout API and AES-GCM encrypted invoice data to protect sensitive data.
Adva Package Manager (APM)
A python command-line interface integrated with the Bash and Zsh Unix shells. It features a centralised local system from which user-made "modules" can be loaded (duplicated), updated, and managed throughout a filesystem.
AN Photos
A simple photos API complete with a documentation page that allows users to access on-demand 500+ HDR images all taken by me.
Altris Trading
Website I built for an Indian aluminium cabinets company. I built an SPA (Single-Page Application) with a custom search parameter navigation system, an automated email server, as well as a custom image carousel solution to present company products to the end user.

Skillset
Working with clients and building personal projects allowed me to apply my skills to real-world environments, and allowed me to greatly develop myself.
With every project I do, I learn new tools, technologies and methods to expand my knowledge and application even more.
code Experience with tools
Technology | Description |
Figma | UI/UX design service that I use to design client products before development. |
Lua, Rojo | I script 3D Experiences with Lua, and use Rojo, Wally and TypeScript to incorporate versioning packages, typed language support and organised client/shared/server codebases for experiences. |
Blender | I have designed several models over 4+ years on Blender for projects, videos and game/3D props. |
Docker & Azure Container Apps | I use Docker and Docker Hub to store server images and deploy them on the cloud as versatile containers. Using Azure Container Apps' GitHub Actions integration, I can create a robust CI/CD pipeline for my servers. |
Postman, Insomnia | I use Postman and Insomnia to test REST and GraphQL APIs |
Prismic CMS | My websites (including this) now use the Prismic API and services such as the Slice Machine to dynamically fetch all site structure, options and content in a robust CMS system. |
Python | I use Python, matplotlib and numpy to build a series of symmetric encryption codebreaking algorithms that could analyse patterns in text and break multi-layered ciphers. I also build command-line interfaces with Python that help me automate my workflow and reduce manual workload. |
patient_list Experience with clients
extension Problem Solving
I can problem solve through analysis and decomposing multi-layered, abstract problems. In the National Cipher Challenge, I needed to implement a quad-matrix analysis algorithm for the Foursquare cipher. I learnt how to decompose and analyse a multi-step problem into smaller algorithms – from matrix representation to value switching and comparison.
groups Communication
I can concisely, professionally and transparently interact, through many valuable exchanges with my past clients. Can conduct meetings, providing budget and scope establishment with clients before beginning any work. During development, I provide frequent updates on work and act on criticisms constructively.
acute Working Under Pressure
I have experience working under intense time pressure, acknowledging throughout that my work needs to be delivered within a predefined timeframe. One of my clients, Garner Solutions, required a detailed, 3-page website from-scratch in just 3 days. Across the next few days, I allocated my time accordingly to the design and construction of the website, communicating and providing snapshots of the product every stage. I prioritised my time to maximise the working hours on the most important areas of the project to get the site done to a high standard within the restricted timeframe.

Work Experience
Airbus
I completed a virtual work experience program at Airbus in Year 10. I gained insight on what it is like to be a part of a dynamic, ever-changing environment like Airbus. I learnt about various roles in the firm, from the responsibilities of an A321 landing gear technician, to designers who are part of the ZEROe Hydrogen aircraft team. Here, I acknowledged the importance of soft skills and how the dynamic environment of Airbus requires individuals who can quickly adapt to various circumstances and work with a team to solve a common problem.
