Hi, I'm Shivam, an independent founder in Bangalore building with AI

I'm Shivam, an independent founder based in Bangalore and a student of Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. I build with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code and Codex, and I keep my work on GitHub (shiv669), where I have 47 repositories. My most recent project is still, an app with AI search and a forum, with its data stored in Neon.

Most of what I'm working on is about understanding how software works underneath. I'm focused on backend engineering and system design: modeling workflows with relational data, building APIs with Node.js and Express, and learning how data modeling choices affect correctness over time. I'd rather build something that teaches me a lot than something that only looks impressive.

What I'd love from this community: feedback on still from anyone who has built AI search or forum products, especially on how you structured the data layer.
