I'm Agniva Chatterjee, a CSE student who likes taking an idea from "this could be useful" to "why does this actually look good?"

I work across the boundary between software engineering, UI/UX and visual design.

Build useful things. Make them look intentional. Ship them.

Not everything I've built lives in a public repository.

These are the pieces that best explain how I work.

Full-stack academic management system

A private internal platform used by Adamas University faculty to record syllabus coverage.

What I worked on

• Project lead
• Database schema & migrations
• Authentication / JWT sessions
• Express API routes
• PDF lesson-plan parsing
• React dashboards
• Responsive UI
• Email utilities
• Admin & faculty workflows

Stack: React 19 Vite Express 5 PostgreSQL Tailwind JWT Recharts Nodemailer Docker Compose GitHub Actions Render PM2

Civic-innovation platform

A civic technology project built around making government/public-service problem reporting and institutional coordination more usable.

Focus: product thinking · frontend engineering · UX · data flows · real-world workflows

Arduino · sensors · voice · motion

One of the earliest things I built: a small vehicle controlled through gesture and voice input.

Built in October 2022. The code was uploaded later in January 2023.

→ repository

A background utility that watches a folder and automatically compresses incoming files.

FILE ARRIVES
     ↓
GHOSTSCRIPT
     ↓
   success ─────────→ done
     ↓
   fallback
     ↓
pypdf + Pillow
     ↓
     .exe

Built because manually compressing PDFs is annoying.

Which is, frankly, a perfectly respectable reason to automate something.

→ repository

Java Swing + MySQL + JDBC.

Full CRUD application with seven GUI classes, packaged as a runnable .jar.

→ repository

The public repositories tell a slightly unusual story.

Java dominates because 114 Java files were written before university started — coursework, experiments, algorithms and increasingly questionable school projects.

Then the stack changed.

JAVA
  ↓
HTML / CSS
  ↓
PYTHON
  ↓
C++
  ↓
FULL-STACK
  ↓
REACT + EXPRESS + POSTGRES
  ↓
"okay, now let's make the UI good too"

The private work is where the stack became much broader.

The public record just happens to be the part GitHub can count.

_{Some are serious. Some are coursework. Some should probably remain in the archaeological record.}

The numbers are useful.

The shape of the activity is more interesting.

This is what the public record actually looks like.

Last push: 21 January 2023.

Next push: 4 May 2026.

Thirty-nine months.

Nothing in between.

No commits. No repositories. No convenient little green squares to make the graph look healthy.

One bar per commit.

Height = commits that day.

Which makes 4 May 2026 less of a date and more of a structural event.

Some of the work isn't code.

UI/UX · visual identity · thumbnails · branding · motion

Growth, creative direction and visual work behind a channel that reached 60K+.

Everything that doesn't belong in a Git repository lives here:
