Hi, I’m Chirag Wamanacharya — a final-year Computer Science & Engineering student from Mumbai, India.
What began as curiosity about controlling a light bulb from a phone has evolved into a mission to build AI-driven, impactful solutions that combine IoT, software development, and problem-solving.

9th Standard.
I saw a light bulb controlled by a mobile app.
That single moment made me wonder — how is this possible?

A few late-night searches led me to Arduino and IoT.
My first ever program wasn’t in C, Java, or Python — it was an Arduino sketch to control a Bluetooth module.
It was simple. It was raw. But it made me feel like I had unlocked a hidden door into a new world.

And then came the turning point — meeting Sanket Takekar and Suraj Takekar, two multi-talented, brilliant minds and among the greatest mentors I have ever had.
Under their guidance, our team started building projects that were once just ideas in my mind, now taking shape in my hands. They didn’t just teach me how to build — they taught me why we build.

By 12th Standard, I was already mixing IoT, web, and mobile into projects that felt almost magical at the time:

• Smart Cylinder Trolley
  An IoT-based appliance that monitors gas levels in a cylinder and reminds the user when it’s running low. If there’s no response, it automatically books a refill before the gas runs out.
  🔹 Showcased at the Science & Tech Exhibition at IIT Kanpur.

• Smart Pot for Plants
  A pot that displays plant “emotions”: a thirsty face if it needs water, a sad face if attacked by pests, and a happy face when healthy.
  🔹 Blended IoT sensors, a web dashboard, and mobile connectivity.

These weren’t just projects — they were proof that tech could sense, decide, and act.
For me, they were also proof that I belonged here.

Then came the first real test.
First year at Watumull Institute — we began with C language.
And my excitement… vanished.

The syntax was alien, the logic twisted, and the symbols a secret code I couldn’t crack.
I watched hundreds of videos, hoping one would suddenly make it all click. But it didn’t.

Then came DSA — and with it, an even deeper confusion.
I remember wondering, Maybe I’m just not meant for this?
But I didn’t stop. I kept writing, kept failing, kept rewriting.

And then, algorithms happened.
Suddenly, the fog began to clear. I started seeing problems not as walls, but as puzzles.
That was the turning point. Confusion gave way to clarity.
And I started coding not just to make things work, but to make them work well.

Semester 2 Project — Smart Grocery Ordering System in pure C.
Two users: buyer and seller.
Ugly CLI interface. No frameworks.

And yet — it was beautiful to me.
Because for the first time, I wasn’t just following instructions or working under guidance — I was building something from scratch, on my own.
It wasn’t pretty — but it was mine. And that mattered more than anything.

Once I realized what I could do, I wanted to do more here are some of them:

• Arogya Mitra (Health Portal)
  One-stop solution for healthcare, serving multiple user types.
  Tech: HTML, CSS, Django, JavaScript, REST API, MySQL, Render.
  📈 Reduced user time by 35–40%.

• File Management System (Windows & macOS)
  Cross-platform system for navigating, organizing, and managing both local and cloud files.
  Tech: HTML, CSS, Node.js, MongoDB.

• N-Queens Puzzle Game
  Backtracking-based logic puzzle game.
  Tech: HTML, CSS, JavaScript.
  🎯 Improved my logic building, DSA, and algorithm skills.

I knew I needed to step outside the comfort zone of personal projects:

• Web Developer Intern @ Cloud Counselage (Feb 2024 – Apr 2024)
  Improved UI/UX, boosting engagement by 40% through performance optimization and user feedback.

• Python Developer Intern @ CODEB (Mar 2025 – Apr 2025)
  Built real-world backend projects, strengthening my coding discipline.

• Deloitte Australia Technology Job Simulation (Jul 2025)
  Designed dashboards and delivered proposals in a corporate-style simulation.

• IBM Certified — Python, SQL, Core Web (HTML, CSS)
• Project Management — Simplilearn
• Core Committee Member & Technical Head among 1200+ students for span of 3+ semesters

Languages: C, C++, Python, Java, JavaScript
Frontend: HTML, CSS, React (Vite), Bootstrap, Tailwind
Backend: Django, Node.js, REST API
Databases: MySQL, MongoDB, Firebase Firestore
Tools: GitHub, Jira, Trello, Postman, Google APIs
Problem Solving: DSA, System Design, Algorithms
Deployment: Render, Firebase, PythonAnywhere

Over the next 3–5 years:

• Build my career as an AI Engineer.
• Freelance to help businesses go online with custom websites.
• Launch two SaaS platforms:
  1. Health Portal – The help is just a click away.
  2. Social Media Management Platform – All your accounts, one dashboard.

Because the goal is simple: Make technology feel like magic — and put that magic in everyone’s hands.
