THE PERSON
BEHIND THE
CODE.

I'm Kartik Gupta, a developer focused on building practical software across full-stack development, AI, cybersecurity and product engineering.

I like taking an idea from a rough concept to something people can actually use. Currently a BCA student — learning by building, shipping, and iterating on real products.
