Hey there! 👋

I'm currently looking for software internships. Let’s connect!

Hey, I'm Rishaan 👋

Tech enthusiast turned maker. I love coding, hardware, and capturing moments through my lens.

About

I began coding at age 9 and have been passionate about software and hardware ever since. My journey led me to compete in hackathons starting in 7th grade, and now I serve as the software captain of an FTC robotics team. Alongside my love for coding, I’m deeply fascinated by hardware and electronics, constantly experimenting with new projects. When I’m not working on tech, you’ll likely find me behind a camera, capturing moments through photography.

Hackathons

I like to make stuff

    We built Elora, an EEG (electroencephalogram) interface designed to help PTSD and stroke recovery patients. Using a Muse S Gen 2, our complex and sophisticated self-trained CNN and Neural Network reads electrical signals from sensors placed on the forehead and behind the ears, detecting emotions, stress levels, and other neurological markers. With this data, Elora generates detailed reports and visualizations, giving specialists the insights they need to provide better care.
