PARTH KHANSALI
I build things I wish already existed.
“I build things I wish already existed.”
I'm Parth — a Computer Science student at Graphic Era Hill University. I like taking rough ideas, figuring out what actually matters, and turning them into software that feels good to use.
I'm strongest on the product side of engineering, but I like knowing what's happening underneath the screen too — from APIs and databases to systems, deployment and the occasional bug that refuses to explain itself.
The stuff I reach for
A mix of tools I've actually spent time with — plus a growing list of things I'm currently trying to break, understand and build with.
No, I don't know every framework. Nobody does.
Tools change. Good engineering habits stick around.
A few ideas that escaped the notes app
Some started as college projects. Some started as “wait, why doesn't this exist?” Either way, I like building them far enough to find the interesting problems.
ForgeFlow
Turn the boring steps into a workflow.
We got tired of creating the same files by copy-pasting things, running commands manually, checking terminal output and repeating the same steps. So we're building ForgeFlow — a workflow automation tool that uses Python libraries and AI to turn those repetitive steps into something the computer can handle on its own. Less copy-paste. Less terminal babysitting. More done.
ARANYA
From claim to impact.
ARANYA explores how fragmented Forest Rights Act records, evidence and claims can be turned into information that is easier to understand, connect, trace and act on. Focused on evidence registry, claim intelligence, provenance and traceability, legacy records processing, spatial map context, and AI-assisted information handling.
How I like to build
Less “I know everything.” More “give me the problem and let me figure it out.”
Start with the problem
Before reaching for a framework, I want to know what the thing is actually supposed to fix.
Make it work
Get the first version running. It will probably be ugly. That's fine.
Then make it good
Clean up the edges, fix the awkward parts, simplify what can be simplified and make the interface feel intentional.
Understand what's underneath
I like knowing why something works — not just which package made it work.
“My favourite debugging strategy is still staring at the code until it becomes embarrassed.”

So, who is Parth?
I'm a Computer Science student who enjoys the whole process of building — the ridiculous first idea, the ugly prototype, the “why is this not working?” phase, and eventually the moment when it all clicks.
I started with the usual curiosity about code and kept following it into web apps, mobile products, AI, databases and systems. I still don't have everything figured out. That's part of what makes it fun.
Outside code, I've spent a fair amount of time around debating, MUNs, event organisation and people who enjoy arguing about whether a comma can change a resolution.
“I like software that works, interfaces that feel good, and projects that leave me with a better question than the one I started with.”
Things I'm digging into
The rabbit holes currently winning.
AI Systems
How AI becomes part of a product instead of just a chat box.
Systems
Operating systems, concurrency, processes, memory and the machinery underneath the UI.
Distributed Software
What happens when one machine isn't enough — and when the network inevitably has other plans.
Data + Maps
Turning messy real-world information into something people can actually understand.
Developer Experience
Tools and interfaces that make complicated things feel simpler.
People, projects & a few microphones
Software isn't the only thing I've spent time building.
Director General
Graphic Era MUN Club
I help run the university's MUN club — planning events, coordinating people, handling the unexpected and making sure things keep moving when the schedule inevitably doesn't.
- Hosted 2 college-scale events
- Helped promote the club across 15–20 schools
- Participated in 4 MUNs and won 2
- Participated in an IIT Roorkee MUN
“Turns out running an event and debugging an application have more in common than you'd think: something always breaks five minutes before the important part.”
HACKATHONS
Hackaholic → iQOO Pune Hackathon
I like the part where an idea has to become a working demo before the clock runs out.
- Hackathon journey: Hackaholic → other hackathon sprints → iQOO Pune Hackathon
- Runner-up across hackathon experiences where applicable
- Fast-paced prototyping, scoping features under constraints, and shipping functional code before the deadline
Computer Science & Engineering
Graphic Era Hill University, Dehradun
Studying computer science fundamentals — algorithms, data structures, databases, and system design.
- Building real-world software across Web, Mobile, and AI
- Balancing coursework with club leadership and active project builds
Say hi
You've made it this far. Leave a little evidence.
Got something worth building?
I'm always interested in good ideas, interesting problems and projects where there's something new to learn.
