Software Developer and Data Scientist

About

I am a computer science graduate (MSc.) who specialized in computational statistics. I have worked at ISRO as an intern for a year and am currently working as an Associate Data Engineer/Data Scientist at Kaplan. I started The Network of Commons about a year ago (early 2025) as a hobby that quickly turned into a passion. I love coding and real-world problem solving (I'm bad at riddles and mental math). I also love designing and building products that make work or tasks easier for every day people. I also like to make things easily accessible and affordable for every day users as well (we were all broke in college once, really fixes the perspective).

A Social Networking App

Hello!Social networking has become a pain regardless of whether you're looking for a friend or a relationship, in order to improve the experience and make it easier to connect, I've taken a simple concept and made it into an app. You find someone interesting and if they're interested, you have a real time conversation with them via a common preferred mode of communication (text, audio or video) and then based on the interaction you can add each other to your respective networks. Simple right? However I am facing the cold start problem, I am an individual developer who built this app in my free time while I was interning and have limited resources. I am unable to find enough resources to put into marketing or get enough feedback or help and am looking for people to check out the app and see if the concept works and helps. Future versions of the app will include random pairing option, where users can get paired with random people online and add them if interested and events where people can get together on a shared interest and add each other. Would love to get some support and feedback. Thank you for your time!

The Network of Commons - Build a network of common interests in real time

The app works on real time communication, you save people you are interested in and when both of you are free, you talk to them in real time and then decide whether to match or not.
