Security-minded builder. I write software with an adversarial lens — studying how systems break so I can build ones that don't.

01 — Origin

A kid who broke
everything.

I grew up taking apart phones, routers, and toys — not because I hated them, but because I wanted to see how they failed. That same curiosity now drives my work in cybersecurity, networking, and systems programming.

Security Mindset Systems Thinking Adversarial Thinking
02 — Method

Build fast,
break it safely.

Short feedback loops: prototype, attack it, then harden. At UC I stack offensive labs, hardware projects, and Python tools to learn where real systems crack — from Wi-Fi to phishing to local networks.

GradeIntel — Academic Performance Platform
Full-stack GPA dashboard with AI assistants, grade simulator, study planner, and Canvas LMS integration. Live at gradintel.anshulraman.com
PythonSupabaseCanvas LMS APIGeminiGrokClaudeOpenAIAI Frontend
↗
  • Cloud-synced GPA dashboard showing cumulative GPA, semester GPA, credits completed, and at-risk course warnings live across every device via Supabase.
  • Grade Simulator with drag sliders to run what-if scenarios in real time, plus a safe-zone calculator showing the exact score needed on every remaining exam to hit a target grade.
  • Multi-model AI Assistant integrating Gemini, Grok, Claude, and OpenAI — plus a built-in model that parses a syllabus PDF and auto-populates the entire exam structure.
  • Study Planner with a Pomodoro timer, deadline tracker, mood log, and AI-generated focus plans that rank courses by risk and surface what to work on first.
  • Canvas LMS integration to auto-pull live grades directly from the university portal.
  • Degree Tracker where you map your full degree, set a target graduation GPA, and drop in a degree-plan PDF for the AI to auto-import course requirements.
  • Gamification with XP, badges, GPA streaks, and level titles; data export, shareable GPA cards, configurable GPA scales (4.0 / 4.3 / 5.0), grade replacement rules, and full mobile-responsive UI with dark/light mode.

Autonomous Line-Following Robot — LEGO EV3
Closed-loop autonomous robot navigating a 6-zone curved track using only a color sensor. Built through the full engineering design lifecycle at UC.
LabVIEWLEGO EV3Color SensorEmbedded SystemsENED1002C
↗
  • Designed and programmed an autonomous robot from scratch as part of UC's Engineering Design Thinking II course — navigated a curved black-line track across six zones without human input.
  • Reads the track surface in real time using a color sensor, dynamically adjusting left and right motor speeds based on sensor feedback to stay on course through curves and straight sections.
  • Followed the full engineering design lifecycle: functional decomposition, measurable design specifications, work breakdown structure, and Gantt chart before writing a single line of code.
  • Iterated heavily on sensor threshold tuning and motor response values during prototype testing to achieve clean, reliable navigation across all six zones in the live demo.
03
Python Banking & ATM System
Full console-based banking with persistent storage, PIN security & admin panel.
PythonFile I/OATM Logic
↗
  • Generated unique account IDs and PINs by creating random numbers and checking for duplicates to avoid collisions.
  • Maintained accurate balances, PINs, and lock status by storing all accounts in a list and updating it on every operation.
  • Implemented persistent storage using a save_accounts() function that rewrites the accounts.txt file after each change.
  • Added PIN security with 3 attempts, automatically locking cards and updating the file when limits were exceeded, and resetting attempts on success.
  • Designed an admin panel to view all accounts and unlock cards, plus robust input validation to handle invalid choices and edge cases without crashing.

04
Python Bus Booking System
File-backed bus reservation with seat tracking, cancellation, and unique booking IDs.
PythonFile I/OBooking Logic
↗
  • Unique booking IDs generated and validated against existing records to avoid collisions.
  • Per-bus seat availability synced on every booking and cancellation event.
  • Used file storage to persist bookings, rebuilding booked seat counts at startup by parsing existing records.
  • Handled invalid input (bus numbers, menu options, booking IDs) gracefully and rebuilt the bookings file after cancellations to keep data consistent.

05
AI-Integrated Medicine Dispensing Machine
Assistive hardware for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, designed to reduce missed doses and improve caregiver visibility.
AI HardwareFacial RecognitionIoTENED
↗
  • Collaborated in a 4-person engineering team to design a smart dispenser that verifies the right patient, delivers the right dose, and escalates when something goes wrong.
  • Camera-based facial recognition identifies the patient before dispensing, ensuring zero wrong-patient risk.
  • Designed automated alert protocols to notify caregivers and trigger emergency calls (911) in life-threatening scenarios.
  • Addressed medication adherence, caregiver burden, and patient safety using assistive technology.
06
RAT Development & Pen Testing
