Abhinandhan K S

Mechanical engineer by training, software designer by habit. I turn the paperwork, spreadsheets and phone calls that keep an organisation running into simple, dependable web applications, built with AI coding assistants.

About

My engineering roots are in automobiles and machines — I studied how engines are built, how factories are automated, and, for my doctorate, why crankshaft bearings crack under repeated loading. That habit of looking at a system, finding where it wears out, and fixing the cause rather than the symptom is the same one I bring to software.

I don't write the code by hand. I decide what needs to be built, work out how it should behave with the people who will use it, and test it against real work; AI assistants write the code under that direction. The applications run on Python, Flask and PostgreSQL and are improved every week from what their users tell us.

What we're building

Project 01 · College ERP

An engineering college management system

A single web application that runs an engineering college end to end — from the day a student enquires about admission to the day they collect their degree. It replaces scattered registers and spreadsheets with one source of truth that the office, accounts, departments, faculty, students and parents all work from.

  • Admissions
  • Fees & bank reconciliation
  • Course registration & results
  • Timetables
  • Exams, seating & invigilation
  • Question paper setting
  • Staff, HR & payroll
  • Library & transport
  • Student & parent portal

Python · Flask · PostgreSQL · Android companion app

Project 02 · Construction

A project management app for civil engineering builders

A web app for firms that plan and build houses and office buildings and take on interior upgrades. It follows a project from estimate to final bill, and keeps track of the people and material in between — permanent staff, contract workers, and the vendors who supply labour and materials.

  • Projects & sites
  • Estimates
  • Vendors
  • Labour & attendance
  • Employees & payroll
  • Materials inventory
  • Billing

Python · Flask · SQLAlchemy · PostgreSQL
