B.Vaibhav B.Vaibhav

I build software, win competitions, and run a club that does both.

Passionate about solving real problems through code. I'm part of the FOSS Club at Sai University, contribute to the open-source ecosystem, and believe in building in public. Currently exploring ethical hacking, local AI models, and how OpenStreetMap is mapping the world.

About

I'm a first-year Computer Science student at Sai University, Chennai, and President of the FOSS Club. I'm passionate about free and open-source software because I believe technology should be transparent, community-driven, and accessible. Through the FOSS Club, I'm building a community of developers who care about collaborative problem-solving and contributing to projects that matter.

Beyond FOSS, I run local AI models on my setup, exploring fine-tuning with Ollama and building workflows with n8n. I'm also into content writing and graphic design—I've designed visuals and written content for club events and outreach. I'm a merit scholarship holder with an 8.94 GPA in my first semester, and I spend my time building practical tools, not chasing frameworks.

When I'm not coding, I spend time playing Throwball, Table Tennis, and Chess. I enjoy building projects, contributing to student communities, and exploring new technologies. I believe in learning through hands-on experience, sharing knowledge, and turning ideas into real, usable solutions.

Projects

Hive LMS/ERP

Flask SQLAlchemy Jinja2 Multi-tenant

A comprehensive university ERP system addressing the fragmentation of campus management tools. Hive provides six distinct user roles (Admin, Faculty, Student, Department Head, Finance, Placement) within a single multi-tenant architecture using subdomain-based tenancy. Each university gets isolated data while sharing infrastructure. Key challenges: designing role-based access control, building complex workflow systems, and ensuring data isolation at scale.

Status: Active Development Type: Open Source / FOSS Role: Founder & Lead Developer

Submitted to FOSS Hack 2026. Intended for universities looking for open-source alternatives to costly proprietary ERP systems.

CredScore

Marketplace Pitch Deck Financials

A performance-based marketplace connecting academic excellence with economic opportunity. CredScore tokenizes student performance metrics into verifiable credentials, creating a transparent pathway for employers and educational institutions to identify talent. The problem: traditional GPAs don't capture skills or project work. The solution: a marketplace where achievements have real value. Built comprehensive financial projections, customer acquisition strategies, and a go-to-market plan.

Status: MVP Complete Type: Student Startup Role: Founder & Business Lead

1st Place at Sharp Tank (moSAIc 2026) after pitching through 3 competitive rounds.

Jarvis n8n Workflow

n8n Telegram Groq LLM SerpAPI

An intelligent automation workflow combining local and cloud AI with web search. Jarvis listens on Telegram, processes queries through Groq's fast LLM inference, searches the web via SerpAPI for current information, and delivers results via Gmail. Demonstrates the power of orchestrating AI models and APIs without writing backend code. Key learning: building resilient workflows that gracefully handle API failures and rate limits.

Status: Production Type: Automation / AI Role: Architect & Developer

Personal productivity tool exploring the intersection of local AI, real-time search, and async notifications.

Pine Script EMA Indicator

Pine Script v6 EMA 13/21 Technical Analysis

A sophisticated technical trading indicator built in Pine Script v6 for TradingView. Implements exponential moving average crossover signals (13/21) combined with proprietary pattern detection (FGC, FRC, TCG, TCR patterns) to identify high-probability entry and exit points. Demonstrates deep understanding of market microstructure, indicator design, and the nuances of programmatic trading logic.

Status: Active Trading Type: Fintech / Trading Tool Role: Researcher & Developer

Personal trading tool built to understand market dynamics and algorithmic decision-making in financial systems.

Chess

Python Pygame

A two-player chess game built from scratch in Pygame, covering full rule implementation — legal move generation, check/checkmate detection, castling, en passant, and pawn promotion. The focus was on getting the game logic correct without relying on any chess library, including board state management and move validation.

Status: Complete Type: Open Source Role: Solo Developer

Built as a way to practice implementing game logic and state management from first principles, rather than using existing chess engines or libraries.

QR Generator

Python Tkinter

A desktop QR code generator built from scratch in Python, allowing users to instantly create QR codes from text, URLs, contact information, and other data. The project focuses on a simple user interface, input validation, QR code generation, and image export functionality, providing a lightweight tool for everyday use.

Status: Complete Type: Open Source Role: Solo Developer

Built as a way to practice Python application development, GUI design, user input handling, and file management while creating a practical utility that can generate and save QR codes without relying on online services.

Building in Public

I prefer open source over closed ecosystems because transparency builds trust, and collaboration accelerates innovation. I believe the best way to learn is by building real tools that solve actual problems—not just tutorials or toy projects.

This portfolio reflects my philosophy: shipping early, sharing knowledge with others, and using technology as a force for good rather than profit. Long-term projects matter more than quick trends; community over competition; open collaboration over proprietary solutions.
