Projects
SoHired
Built solo for SPJIMR placement season: type a company name and get a sourced, sector-aware interview brief instead of a dozen browser tabs per company. Defined the product around one job, walk in sounding like I did my homework, and used it to cut scope. Briefs apply 4P for FMCG and Porter's Five Forces for Consulting and BFSI, every claim is labelled sourced or analysis, and a shared 30-day cache with Gemini-to-OpenRouter failover keeps the whole product on free-tier APIs.
