This documentary unfolds how the "the unexpected pandemic" impacted the personal and professional lives of various individuals during the COVID pandemic and how they coped with these new challenges. This is made with the intent to be used for informational and research purposes, and in no manner intends to offend anyone.

Tech Stack: Python, OpenCV, YOLOv8, Kalman Filter, PID Control, CAD A 2-axis predictive tracking gimbal system developed for Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) during PuneSymbiHackathon Startupcon 5.0. This system projects a real-time Cartesian coordinate system onto a camera feed and calculates precise pan/tilt servo angles to keep dynamic targets dead-centered. Key Highlights: • Predictive Tracking: Implemented Kalman filtering to calculate object trajectories, allowing the system to actively predict where a target is if line-of-sight is lost over a bump or obstacle. • Human-AI Shared Control: Engineered a seamless transition between autonomous AI tracking and manual teleoperation, allowing an operator to instantly take over via keyboard and auto-lock the second they let go. • Hardware-Ready: Designed a fully 3D-printable pan-tilt mechanism (CAD renders included) and developed a closed-loop PID controller tuned to prevent derivative explosions from UGV chassis vibrations.

Built a productivity Chrome extension that blocks distracting websites and manages todos while keeping user data completely private. Key Features: • Website blocking with custom lists • Smart todo management • 100% local storage - no data collection • Clean Tailwind CSS interface Tech Stack: React, JavaScript, Chrome APIs, Tailwind CSS, Vite What I'm Proud Of: Created a solution that prioritizes user privacy without sacrificing functionality. All data stays on the user's device, and the extension is completely free with no tracking. Built the entire ecosystem, including the extension, landing page, and privacy-focused architecture from the ground up.
