nikhilramlukan.com — my site. It is a watch. Open it on a desktop.
Some things I've built:
- Peel — a sub thirty-dollar optical dissolution tester that plugs into a phone, backed by an evidence engine that checks the pill against 22,000 recall records. The idea, the chemistry, and the classification layer were mine. HackMIT 2026 Grand Prize winner, and Elastic's first place. Submission.
- GreenChain — ranks real manufacturers on emissions, transport CO₂, grid carbon, and climate risk. The backend — the models, the agents, the API — was mine. Won three tracks at HackPrinceton 2026.
- Prophis — simulates public-health interventions across US counties. The data, the ML, and the statistics were mine.
- BrainSentry — a stroke self-check demo on a phone, presented to the health ministries of Indonesia and South Sudan. I designed it and co-built it.
