THINGS I BUILT

01

GiveEase

GiveEase is a verified donation platform connecting donors with trusted NGOs. It facilitates seamless, transparent contributions ranging from monetary funds to blood donations and essential goods, all while providing real-time impact tracking.

⚡ Problem Solved: Donors today struggle to trust donation campaigns appearing on social media or through door-to-door collections, with no way to verify legitimacy or see where their money actually goes. GiveEase eliminates this trust gap by requiring government-issued ID verification for donors and official NGO registration documents reviewed by an admin before any account is approved. Every donation whether monetary, clothing, medicine, or food is tracked with real-time impact proof, showing donors exactly who received their contribution and how it helped.

SpendWise

SpendWise is a modern, offline-first Android expense tracking application built with Kotlin, XML, and Material 3. It follows MVVM architecture, uses Room for local data persistence, and provides a clean fintech-style interface for managing daily expenses, categories, and monthly spending insights.

⚡ Problem Solved: Most expense tracking apps require users to create accounts and sync sensitive financial data to external servers, raising serious privacy concerns. Users have little visibility into how their spending data is stored, shared, or monetized by third-party platforms. SpendWise eliminates this problem by keeping all financial records strictly on the user's local device, ensuring zero data exposure. It also simplifies budgeting by offering category-specific budget tracking, visual spending breakdowns, and instant PDF report generation without needing an internet connection.

FindCircle

FindCircle is a community-driven lost & found mobile app that connects people who have lost personal belongings with those who have found them, using real-time location mapping, smart image-based matching, and instant push notifications.

⚡ Problem Solved: Every day, countless people lose valuable items — phones, wallets, keys, pets — with no centralized way to report or search for them. Traditional methods like social media posts or physical flyers are scattered, inefficient, and rarely reach the right audience in time. FindCircle solves this by creating a dedicated, geo-aware platform where users can instantly post lost or found items with photos, precise locations, and category tags. The app leverages real-time cloud matching and push notifications to automatically alert nearby users when a potential match is detected. By bridging the gap between losers and finders through technology, FindCircle dramatically increases the chances of reuniting people with their belongings.
