I'm Prasad Hiwarkhede, a developer from Nagpur, Maharashtra 🇮🇳 with a passion for building software that solves real-world problems. My work spans artificial intelligence, desktop application development, cybersecurity tools, and full-stack web systems.
I've competed in international challenges like the NASA Space App Challenge as part of Team Xebec, and I'm deeply interested in the rapidly growing field of Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG). When I'm not writing code, I'm thinking about how technology can make everyday life more secure, efficient, and inclusive.
