Pranshu Kumar
Student and Independent Developer/Builder
About
I'm Pranshu Kumar, a student at KIIT and an independent builder deeply immersed in the world of Agentic AI and fullstack development. My journey has been defined by building tools that solve real problems—from Voyage, an AI internship scanner used by students across top Indian institutes, to RippleCode and AskTabs. I'm a 3x hackathon winner and recently took AskTabs to HackHarvard '25, focusing on making AI more accessible through token cost optimization. I honestly feel like building things is the only thing I'm truly good at, and I'm always looking to connect with fellow developers and mentors to learn more. If you're into AI agents, efficient stacks, or just want to talk about building cool products, hit me up!
