Krish Hitendra Mistry — Full Stack Developer

/ THE STORY

Built on curiosity,
shipped with intention.

I'm a final-year IT student at St. Francis Institute of Technology, Mumbai — but I think of myself as a product builder first, student second. Since my first "hello world" I've been obsessed with closing the gap between idea and working software.

Over the past two years I've shipped 8 production-grade apps — everything from a real-time geopolitical intelligence dashboard powered by Gemini AI, to a cross-platform community safety TensorFlow's MobileNetV3. I don't just build for portfolios; I build to solve real problems.

My Journey

Building software and building teams turned out to need the same skill: clear thinking under pressure.

Started Coding 2022

Self-taught · First lines of code

Wrote my first line of code and fell in love with building things from scratch — the moment that started everything.

B.E. Information Technology 2023 – 2027

St. Francis Institute of Technology Ongoing

First year dived deep into DSA, OS, and web fundamentals — the base everything else is built on.

First Full-Stack Projects 2024

EduCycle & HeritageGuide

Built real-world apps with full backends, interactive maps, and API integrations — working alongside other contributors for the first time.
What it taught me: managing Git workflows, code reviews, and feature splits across teammates with different strengths and schedules.

⚙ cross-functional teamwork

Head of NSS 2025

SFIT · National Service Scheme

Took on community outreach leadership — translating program goals into clear action plans for 50+ volunteers.
What it taught me: writing a clean commit message and briefing a volunteer team are the same skill — say exactly what needs to happen and why.

💬 clear communication

Hackathons, Ideathons & Ambassadorship 2025 – 2026

Colloquium '25 · Samadhan '26 · Google Current

Runner-up at Colloquium '25, SFIT's national-level hackathon — then organized Samadhan '26, a national ideathon with 100+ participants and NGO partnerships, from scratch: venue, timeline, sponsor outreach, and a day-of run with zero critical failures.
Selected as a Google Student Ambassador soon after — all while maintaining a 9.2 CGPA and shipping production apps in parallel. Not by working harder, but by knowing what to cut, defer, and finish first.

Things I've shipped.

Real projects — not tutorials. Every one of these is production-grade and deployed or deployable.

ImpactGlobe

Live Web ↗

For traders & analysts who need geopolitical context without digging through 20 news tabs — a live intelligence layer that maps world events directly to Forex impact.

3D globe (Three.js + Leaflet) mapping live geopolitical events with severity tiers (Critical, High, Medium) and historical 24-hour replay.
Gemini 2.0 Flash auto-generates structured news intelligence with direct Forex impact analysis (e.g., EUR/USD, XAU/USD).
Real-time event tracking and live market panel powered by Next.js and Firebase — zero manual refresh needed.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

The trickiest challenge was syncing live geopolitical event data with Three.js globe rendering without causing frame drops. Solved it by debouncing Firebase listeners and batching DOM updates outside the animation loop.

HemiSphere

Live Web ↗

Urban communities lack fast, low-cost tools to report and act on safety hazards. HemiSphere puts AI-powered incident classification and CO₂ tracking directly in residents' hands — no cloud dependency needed.

MobileNetV3 CNN (Transfer Learning) classifies accidents, construction hazards, and garbage from incident photos with on-device inference.
Heuristic regression for real-time CO₂ emissions tracking — gives communities actionable environmental data locally.
Flutter + Firebase Firestore backend with real-time sync across all community members.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

The key decision was choosing on-device inference (MobileNetV3) over a cloud API — this eliminated latency, worked offline, and kept sensitive incident photos off external servers. The tradeoff was a larger app bundle, offset with lazy loading.

Enterprise fleet & logistics command center.

TransitOps

Comprehensive logistics dashboard bridging hardware tracking, human resource management, and financial analytics.
Real-time trip lifecycle planning, fuel intelligence with anomaly detection, and driver operations tracking.
Role-Based Access Control with gated write operations, audit logging, and data export functionalities.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Building a fully synchronized, real-time interface across multiple modules (fleet, dispatch, fuel) required careful state management and real-time database architecture to prevent redundant fetches and ensure absolute data consistency.

Real-time Crowd Analysis Dashboard.

CrowdPulse

Engineered real-time object detection and density mapping pipelines using YOLOv8 to proactively identify crowd anomalies.
Developed a Flask web dashboard featuring passkey authentication and interactive, dynamic hotspot zones for targeted monitoring.
Architected and deployed the AI model on Hugging Face Spaces, utilizing PyTorch and CUDA for GPU-accelerated inference.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Balancing high-accuracy tracking with the low latency required for real-time alerts. I optimized the YOLOv8 tracking algorithms and moved all AI inference to an NVIDIA GPU using PyTorch (CUDA 12.1), successfully achieving real-time processing speeds without sacrificing precision.

AyurWell

Formulated an intricate scoring algorithm mapping user survey inputs to precise Ayurvedic Dosha profiles.
Integrated LLMs to dynamically generate highly personalized, season-aware dietary plans.
Constructed a fluid dashboard using Recharts to visualize wellness progress over time.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Feeding complex health profiles into the LLM safely was critical. I implemented a strict prompt chaining pipeline with validation layers to ensure the AI generated safe advice.

Play-vs-Stockfish with adjustable strength, multi-engine support with WASM threads gracefully degrading based on CPU.
Move classification, multi-PV engine lines, and game summaries highlighting inaccuracies, mistakes, and blunders.
40+ piece themes, SAN move list, zero backend dependency for analysis.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

The biggest challenge was running a heavy C++ chess engine in JS without freezing the UI. I compiled Stockfish to WebAssembly (WASM) and ran it inside Web Workers, communicating via message passing.

Interactive map with routing.

HeritageGuide

Dynamic map integration using Leaflet and OpenStreetMap for accurate site discovery.
Built a full-stack Django architecture handling secure slot booking, authentication, and routing.
Firebase-backed features ensure real-time data flow for peak hour updates and reviews.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

The routing engine needed to be fast and multimodal. Instead of building from scratch, I integrated with OpenRouteService APIs but cached frequent routes in Redis to minimize API costs and latency.

EduCycle

Integrated Stripe for secure, verified student-to-student transactions.
Developed a robust PWA architecture enabling students to browse and message offline on campus.
Utilized Redis caching to serve the marketplace feed in under 100ms.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Managing real-time P2P chat alongside transactional data required careful planning. I decoupled the chat microservice using WebSockets while Django handles heavy DB relations.

Real-time synchronized video streaming.

WatchParty

Engineered a custom WebRTC signaling server using Socket.IO to establish low-latency peer connections.
Implemented robust timestamp synchronization algorithms to ensure sub-second video playback alignment.
Built lightweight, zero-install architecture focusing on pure client-side P2P media flow.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Instead of relaying video through a central server (expensive and slow), I forced a pure P2P mesh network for smaller rooms. The signaling server purely orchestrates connections.

High-performance fintech dashboard.

Nexus Financial

Architected a double-entry ledger system in Java to guarantee atomic, ACID-compliant transactions.
Enforced strict security measures using JDBC prepared statements to prevent any SQL injection vulnerabilities.
Developed a comprehensive dual-table audit trail to track every single balance change and user action.

⚙️ Hardest Technical Decision

Ensuring transaction atomicity during concurrent ATM operations was paramount. I heavily utilized MySQL row-level locking (SELECT ... FOR UPDATE) to prevent race conditions.
