A little context

“Build boldly. Solve what matters.”

Ishaan Rai✳

I’m Ishaan Rai, an AI/ML developer and final-year computer science student. Hackathons pulled me into building, and emerging AI tools keep pulling me toward the next problem worth solving.

I enjoy turning ideas into real-world products, mentoring students and builders at hackathons, and learning by making. Outside the screen, you’ll usually find me travelling, hiking, tracking a new trail, training at the gym, or listening to Hindi, English, and Punjabi romantic and pop music.

Things I’ve
made real.

Real projects from my journey through AI, backend systems, SaaS, healthcare, Web3, and hackathon-driven building. Each one carries the problem, the solution, and the tools that made it possible.
