Aspiring developer | UI/UX Designer | Content Writer | Java Developer | Participant of SIH
I'm a passionate and driven individual with a keen interest in software development, UI/UX design, and content creation. I enjoy building innovative solutions and constantly learning new technologies. As a participant in SIH, I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute to impactful projects and collaborate with fellow enthusiasts.
"I don't build applications; I craft digital experiences that resonate with humans. Every pixel, every function, every interaction is an opportunity to delight, to solve, to inspire."
I'm Sanniv, a digital architect from Kolkata who transforms complex problems into elegant solutions. My journey in technology is driven by three core principles:
- Craftsmanship over Construction - I believe in building things right, not just making them work
- Human-Centered Design - Technology should adapt to humans, not the other way around
- Continuous Renaissance - In a field that reinvents itself daily, standing still means falling behind.

🏆 The SIH Crucible
The Smart India Hackathon wasn't just a competition—it was a forge where ideas were tested under pressure and character was revealed. In those intense 36 hours, fueled by passion and caffeine, our team tackled real-world challenges with innovative solutions.
What I learned went beyond coding—it was about resilience, collaboration, and the power of focused creativity. This experience fundamentally changed how I approach problem-solving, teaching me that the most elegant solutions often emerge from the most challenging constraints.
