Thinking Studio
Curated reading workspace
A calmer knowledge interface for RSS, saved ideas, and personal reading rituals.
Somewhere between code, cinema, and chaos.
Building digital tools for curious minds.
I'm Vansh, a Computer Science student at University of Alberta, a developer and film student building products shaped by psychology, aesthetics, and curiosity.

Beyond the Resume
I build software that makes workflows clearer.
My work sits somewhere between engineering, storytelling, interface design, and psychology. I enjoy building products that feel clean, emotionally aware, and quietly useful.
I am interested in software that solves real workflow problems with clear architecture and thoughtful UX.
Beyond the Resume
I like remote collaboration, async notes, and turning scattered ideas into clean product decisions.
Built between Edmonton and everywhere else.
Less hype stack, more thoughtful choices that help ideas become usable.
Tools I Think With
FrontendBackendAI/ML
SystemsDesignMedia
I like building across the stack: clean UI, reliable APIs, useful data models, and practical product decisions.
Frontend, backend, data, and interface design.
The build notes
I like turning rough ideas into working product systems.
Have a product idea? Let's build a clean version of it.
What Interests Me
I like software that turns messy systems into clear tools.
I am drawn toward products that organize information, reduce repetitive work, and help people move through complicated workflows with less friction. Lately that means dashboards, knowledge tools, analytics systems, and polished web apps.
