MCA student · open to internships & roles

Hi, I'm Rino.
I build web apps
that people actually use.

Software Engineer and MCA student from Tamil Nadu, India. I build web apps, APIs and IoT systems end to end — from database design and backend logic to fast, responsive interfaces and ESP32 sensors.

01 — About

Developer who enjoys the whole stack — database to pixel.

I'm currently pursuing my Master of Computer Applications (MCA), after a B.Sc. in Computer Science from St. Alphonsa College, MSU. I like turning messy real-world problems into simple software. My comfort zone is PHP, MySQL and vanilla JavaScript, and I care about the parts users don't see: clean schemas, secure logins, and code the next developer can read.

Recently I've built a gamified learning platform, an AI-ranked learning-resource finder, an ESP32-powered occupancy monitor for my campus and a live certificate portal for my MCA department — all four are live. Alongside my MCA, I'm looking for internships and roles where I can ship real features, learn from experienced engineers, and grow as a software engineer.

01 Gamified LMS · Hackathon · Live

Minio Learn

A college learning platform built around “Understand Mode” — step-by-step concept challenges instead of rote memorisation. Students earn XP, streaks and badges, and get a weighted Understanding Score computed live from challenges, quizzes and practical tasks.

Smart Occupancy Monitor

ESP32 nodes with IR beam-break sensors count people entering and leaving campus spaces. A PHP/MySQL API powers a live admin dashboard, alerts, timetable-aware rules and a public “can I go now?” page with wait estimates.

Certificate Finder

The MCA department's certificate portal at St. Xavier's Catholic College of Engineering. Students and staff pick a category and search by name or roll number to find their official certificates — instantly, without reloading the page.

LearnHub

Ask in plain language what you want to learn, and LearnHub finds, verifies and ranks trusted books and websites for it — credible sources first. A plain-JavaScript frontend talks to a PHP JSON API, deployed on Apache with a locked-down security setup.
