About

Hi, I'm Attharv Bhagchandka — a student at The Shri Ram School, Moulsari, pursuing the IB Diploma with a focus on Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry. My deepest interests lie at the intersection of Mathematics and Computer Science, and I love tackling problems that sit right at the edges of what's known.

Outside the classroom, I've competed in Math Olympiads, National Technology Quizzes, and Space Settlement Design Competitions — most recently winning the Anita Gale Creative Genius Award at the Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition and reaching the national semifinals of TCS InQuizitive out of 4,000+ teams. When I'm not coding or solving problems, you'll find me at a chess board, deep in a Brandon Sanderson novel, or practicing the electronic keyboard.

My drive to build things that matter led me to create SignMeet. I noticed that existing video-conferencing platforms largely leave sign language users behind, forcing them to rely on chat or interpreters just to participate in a conversation online — and that felt like a problem worth fixing. My interest in machine learning and accessibility drove me to design and build SignMeet from the ground up, training models for real-time gesture recognition and working through the challenge of making it fast and accurate enough to be genuinely useful in a live call.

SignMeet is still evolving, and I'm actively working on improving its accuracy and reducing latency through user testing. If you have feedback or would like to get involved, I'd love to hear from you.
