My first real pipeline, live in production: every push to main triggers a GitHub Actions workflow that builds this Astro site and publishes it to GitHub Pages. The portfolio is its own working GitOps demo — anyone can inspect the workflow and watch it run.

What I did: Wrote the deploy workflow end-to-end: build → upload artifact → deploy. Wired Pages permissions and Actions, and handled the base path so assets resolve correctly under /portfolio/.

Impact: Deploys this site on every push — 3+ successful runs so far

Future: Extend from build → deploy to build → test → deploy on a real app with Terraform; add preview deployments and artifact caching.

Django web app that reduces hostel food waste by letting students mark single-meal absences and multi-day leave — so staff cook for the actual number of students present. USN-based login, DB-level duplicate protection, and a staff notifications inbox with seen-flags.

What I did: Designed the full data model and USN-based auth, built the student request + staff dashboard flows, and enforced duplicate-meal validation at both the form and database layers.

Future: Containerize with Docker + docker-compose, wire a CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions → Render), add meal-wastage analytics and email/SMS reminders, and migrate to PostgreSQL for scale.
