Hi, I'm Shaurya Software Engineer EECS @ UC Berkeley

I like to build cool stuff.

Right now that means manufacturing software at Foundation Industries. Outside work, it has meant a daily puzzle solver, an app that listens for palm weevils, mobile products, and whatever else I can get my hands on.

What I do now

Foundation Industries

Software for the unglamorous, important parts of manufacturing: quoting, CAD review, CNC scheduling, and the facility floor.

Algorithms + automation

Tic Tac Go Perfected

A two-minute Google puzzle that eventually became a two-month adventure in browser automation, Sokoban search, and verification.

Applied ML

PalmPulse

A mobile app that listens for red palm weevils, built with a finalist team under hackathon pressure in Saudi Arabia.

Product engineering

Mentiora

An adaptive GCSE learning product I helped take from architecture to real students, payments, feedback loops, and production.

Right now

Software, machines, and the people between them.

I'm spending summer 2026 at Foundation Industries, building production software around CAD files, CNC machines, quoting, scheduling, and facility operations. I'm also studying EECS at Berkeley and steadily overcomplicating side projects.

Six Years Later: Rebuilding MusicMixer

A technical archaeology of my middle-school Discord music bot, the Flask backend that replaced it, and the privacy-first browser audio engine I eventually built from the same idea.

Solving a 2-Minute Puzzle in 2 Months

How a throwaway daily puzzle turned into a browser-automation pipeline, a vision parser, a Sokoban push-search solver, and a verified replay system.

My Saudi Experience: Intelligent Planet Hackathon

Building PalmPulse under deadline pressure in Dhahran: recovering from a weak first model, reading research to change direction, and why a credible working system beats a shallow demo.
