EE @ IIT Roorkee | AI & LLMs | Building SaaS Products | Founder @ Edcore & Offset | Technology, Product & Markets

About

Hello! I’m Tharun, an Electrical Engineering student at IIT Roorkee. I build full-stack products, research AI/LLMs, Learn a bit of product thinking and UX, and run Edcore, an edtech platform I designed and shipped solo :) Stack: Next.js, Supabase, TypeScript, MongoDB. Edcore exists because the college navigation process is genuinely chaotic, and “ask a senior” probably shouldn’t be the primary source of truth for decisions that shape the next four years of someone’s life. I also spend a lot of time thinking about language, decision theory, and systems that sit at the intersection of psychology and technology. Do connect, I also yap a lot hahaha :)
