If we haven't met yet, I am Aditya Bhattad—and I am here to build!

Back in 2016, when cheap internet suddenly became available across India, I saw firsthand how technology changed everything around me. From Instagram to YouTube, these platforms completely changed how we connected with people and learned new things. Something clicked for me back then – I wanted to be part of creating this kind of change, not just watching it happen.

So, four years later in 2020, when I had to pick my major stream for graduation, Computer Science was a clear choice, As I look back, it was absolutely the best decision I have made. Beyond just classes, I was having time of my life, learning to build things I wanted to since childhood, coding into night at hackathons, creating open source projects, and participating in Google Summer of Code (a flagship open-source program by Google allowing students from around the world to contribute to real-world open-source projects and make an impact while learning real tech).

Now again four years later, as I graduate, I am about to start a new chapter in my life. While I am still looking for fun and challenging opportunities/roles (especially full-stack development roles at early-stage startups, freelance gigs, or anywhere I can take real ownership and build cool stuff) where I would be a prefect fit, I plan to start a new habit of building in public, because like someone once said, you don’t need a title or a job to build awesome tech.

So with this spirit in mind, I will also write weekly blogs about the things I learnt or build throughout the week.

But before that...

Here are some of the notable projects I have already build:

  1. FairFund: This is a blockchain-based platform designed to empower communities with transparent and democratic funding mechanisms. It enables users to deploy funding "vaults," submit proposals for projects, and collectively vote on how funds are allocated, ensuring a fair and community-driven distribution of resources.

    Core Technologies Used:

    • Full-Stack: Next.js (Frontend & API Routes)
    • Blockchain: Solidity (Smart Contracts), Foundry (Development Framework)
    • Backend & DB: Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL
    • Web3 Integration: Wagmi, Viem, Web3Modal, NextAuth with SIWE (Sign-In with Ethereum)
    • UI: TailwindCSS, ShadCN UI

    Its development was centered on two crucial aspects: creating comprehensive, full-cycle decentralized application architecture and ensuring a user-centric design.

    • On architectural front, this involved developing secure smart contracts for all core funding logic (vaults, proposals, voting), complemented by a performant backend and an intuitive frontend.
    • To enhance user experience, features like personalized dashboard was implemented, along with "Spaces", these spaces allow for grouping of multiple funding vaults, improving how user discover, track and participate in the community initiatives.

  2. FoodieSpot: It is an intelligent restaurant management system I developed to streamline the reservation process across multiple restaurant locations. It features a graph based AI agent that assists customers in discovering restaurants and making bookings.

    Core Technologies Used:

    • Frontend: React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
    • Backend & AI Agent Services: FastAPI (Python)
    • AI: Groq API (for conversational AI), Pinecone - (Vector Database for semantic search of restaurant data), Custom Prompt Engineering.
    • Database: SQL-based (interacted via ORM, likely PostgreSQL or similar with FastAPI)
    • DevOps & Tooling: Docker, Docker Compose

    The architecture of FoodieSpot is built around a modular, multi-component system designed for specialized task handling, with a strong emphasis on leveraging agentic AI for a seamless user experience.

  3. ConsumeWise: This is an AI-driven platform I developed to help users make informed decisions about healthier FMCG (Fast-Moving Consumer Goods) food alternatives. It acts as a product review catalog and consumption tracker, leveraging Google Gemini to analyze products, identify misleading claims, and provide personalized dietary recommendations based on individual health goals and consumption patterns.

    Core Technologies Used:

    • Full-Stack & Framework: Next.js (with TypeScript)
    • AI: Google Gemini (for product analysis, insight generation, and report generation)
    • Database: PostgreSQL (for primary data storage), Prisma (ORM)
    • Caching & Rate Limiting: Redis, Upstash
    • Data Collection: Web scraping (initially from BigBasket)

    The core idea behind ConsumeWise is to empower users with AI-generated clarity in a market often clouded by confusing product claims. This was achieved by:

    • Building an AI-powered analysis engine using Google Gemini to deeply scrutinize product ingredients and nutritional information, effectively debunking misleading marketing and highlighting genuine health benefits. This engine forms the backbone of the product review catalog.
    • Developing a system for personalized consumption tracking and reporting. By monitoring user choices, ConsumeWise provides actionable insights and suggests healthier alternatives, guiding users toward their dietary goals with manageable steps.
    • The platform is built with a modern Next.js stack, utilizing PostgreSQL for data storage and Redis/Upstash for rate limiting, ensuring a scalable and responsive user experience.

  4. SuperWallet: I developed it as part of a hackathon, it simplify user interaction with multiple blockchain networks. It uniquely allows users to perform cross-chain transactions, like combining assets from different chains for a single payment, all authorized with a single user signature.

    Core Technologies Used:

    • Frontend: Next.js
    • Smart Contracts: Solidity
    • Account Abstraction: Biconomy SDK V2 (specifically leveraging the Multi-Chain Validator Module)
    • Cross-Chain Communication: Axelar GMP (General Message Passing)
    • Social Logins: Particle Network
    • Supported Networks (Testnet): Scroll Sepolia, Polygon Mumbai, Avalanche, Mantle

    The focus of Super Wallet was to improve the user experience (UX) in a multi-chain environment by
    abstracting away blockchain complexities.

    This was achieved by:

    • Integrating Biconomy's Account Abstraction SDK V2, particularly its Multi-Chain Validator Module. This allows complex cross-chain operations, which would traditionally require multiple transactions and signatures across different chains, to be bundled and authorized with a single user signature. For instance, users can combine aUSDC from Avalanche and Polygon to make a payment on Mantle in one seamless action.
    • Leveraging Axelar GMP for robust and secure cross-chain communication, enabling the "Super Wallet bridge" smart contracts to facilitate asset transfers and interactions between supported networks.
    • Simplifying onboarding through Particle Network's social login integration, making it easy for users to create and access their smart contract wallets without needing to manage traditional private keys initially.

...Showcasing these projects is more than just a portfolio; it's a reflection of a journey that started with a simple fascination for technology and has grown into a deep passion for creating and problem-solving.
