Bharghav Srinivasan
Engineer • Developer • Builder
I'm a pre-final year undergrad from VIT Chennai who enjoys building things — whether it's something dumb, something useful, or something I just wanted to see work.
What excites me most about tech is how you can start with just an idea and bring it to life using nothing but logic, math, and a bit of curiosity. I'm especially fascinated by machine learning — how deep learning lets machines learn patterns, make decisions, and in a way, "think" using layers of math.
Over the years, I've built up experience across full-stack development and machine learning — working with tools like TypeScript, Next.js, Python, Flask, and libraries like TensorFlow and OpenCV. I've even explored blockchain and zero-knowledge cryptography for some of my more experimental builds.
Outside of classes, I spend most of my time at hackathons, exploring new frameworks, or working with my college tech communities.
Projects
Some cool things I've built recently
A web app that recommends Spotify playlists based on your mood, powered by Gemini AI.
– Used Gemini API to analyze user input and detect mood
– Mapped moods to curated playlists via the Spotify API
– Built a clean UI in Next.js and Flask for the backend
A motion-controlled system that lets you play games using body gestures instead of a keyboard.
– Tracked real-time body motion and mapped gestures to inputs
– Aimed at making games more accessible and immersive
– Built using OpenCV and MediaPipe for fast pose detection
A DeFi protocol enabling under-collateralized lending using Soulbound Tokens and Zero-Knowledge Proofs.
– Verified user creditworthiness without exposing sensitive data
– Leveraged ZKPs for privacy and SBTs for on-chain identity
– Designed for fairer, more inclusive decentralized lending
