About Me
Hi, my name is Krishiv, and I am a high school student interested in cloud computing and DevOps. I love homelabbing and experimenting with cool technologies. I’ve earned several AWS certifications not only showing my skills in the cloud but also DevOps.
Recently, I’ve built my own hackathon with over 140 participants from all around the world.
I am most skilled in: AWS and Python
Experience
Aim to challenge misconceptions and promote a fact-based worldview by highlighting the vast gaps in global knowledge about issues like poverty, health, and development. The problem lies in widespread ignorance and misperceptions, where people's views on global trends are often far more negative or distorted than reality, leading to misguided decisions and policies.
- Conceptualized and launched an international hackathon to promote problem-solving in media perception.
- Recruited experienced judges from companies like Microsoft, Intel, SAP, Google, Meta, and more.
- Attracted 140+ participants from 4+ continents around the world.
- Raised over $300,000 in sponsorship.
Delivered a talk at a local Kubernetes meetup.
SkyPilot is an open-source framework maintained by UC Berkeley for running AI and batch workloads on any infrastructure, including on-premises, public clouds, and edge devices.
Contributed to the open-source project Skypilot.
Developed a web-based application designed to help students optimize their study techniques using the Feynman Technique. The app provides a personalized, streamlined experience for users to enhance their understanding and retention of complex concepts, significantly improving academic performance.
- Built a responsive, user-friendly platform that allows users to log in with Google authentication and track their learning progress.
- Integrated Firebase Authentication for secure user sign-in and real-time data synchronization.
- Implimented AWS Lambda for serverless backend APIs and communicating with OpenAI API.
- Utilized S3 static website hosting for cheap, serverless hosting of the web app.
Technologies: React, Firebase Authentication, JavaScript, Firebase Realtime Database, Tailwind CSS, Google OAuth, AWS Lambda, OpenAI API, S3

- Designed and built a web-based mind mapping platform to help students and self-learners explore complex topics through auto-generated visual topic breakdowns.
- Implemented a dynamic system that expands as users dive deeper into subtopics, supporting self-guided learning and topic discovery.
- Used by tutors and learners for revision, essay planning, and subject overviews across fields like history, science, and personal development.
- Conducted user outreach, tested use cases with educators, and iterated based on feedback to improve clarity, performance, and UX.

This is the website that acts as the front page for my hackathon: MindTheGap Challenge. It was built using React and is fully responsive.
An app that helps me review for the PSAT and SAT. It is built using React and pulls questions directly from College Board using their API.
Developed a web app designed to help users visualize and explore complex topics by generating mind maps. Users can input any subject, and the app generates categories and subtopics to help them better understand and organize the topic.
- Helps users get past the phase of “I have no clue where to even start” when researching new topics.
- Built with React, using a responsive design for a smooth user experience.
- Aimed at anyone curious about subjects like quantum computing, AI, history, etc., making learning fun and interactive.
Technologies: React, JavaScript, CSS
