I'm Arsh, an 18-year-old originally from Jamshedpur who grew up on the move — Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad and now Pune. Every new city taught me to adapt fast. I'm the founder of Sophomore Labs, my MSME-registered studio behind PRAXIS, and I'm currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering at Newton School of Technology. I live somewhere between clean code and hard problems — shipping web projects by day and chasing accepted verdicts by night. I think in Python, read C++ comfortably, and believe every tough problem is just a pattern I haven't met yet.
My strongest language. Comfortable writing clean, idiomatic Python for problem solving, scripting and building projects end to end.
Can read and reason through a fair amount of C++ — STL, competitive templates and contest-style solutions — and growing every week.
Building responsive websites and grinding data structures & algorithms for contests.
A few projects I've designed and developed. Scroll to move through them.
A Sophomore Labs product. An AI study planner for Class 12 students, droppers and college students in India. It turns your exam, syllabus and daily routine into a realistic plan for today — and quietly re-plans when you miss a day, so the backlog never grows.
A calm corner of the internet — a carefully designed website focused on clean layout, smooth interactions and a relaxing user experience.
An e-commerce store for premium guitars, pedals and amplifiers — "engineered for players who hear the difference." Browse the collection by category, search the catalog and build your cart.
A live, very honest countdown to Friday 5 pm — down to the second, converted into days on other planets, with a work-week progress bar and a "delulu mode" that flips the answer to YES.
I competed in the ICPC Preliminary Round 2026 (Chennai region). We didn't make the cut this time — but it turned out to be one of the most valuable experiences I've had as a programmer.
Preparing for and competing at that level pushed me deep into advanced data structures and algorithms, taught me to think under pressure, and showed me exactly where the bar is. I came out with sharper instincts, a much bigger toolkit, and a clear target for next season.
Laps in the pool are where I reset. It's rhythm, breathing and focus — oddly similar to working through a tough problem one stroke at a time.
Fast breaks, teamwork and the satisfaction of a clean swish. Basketball keeps me competitive off the screen too.
Quick reflexes, quicker reads. A good rally feels a lot like a fast contest — react, adjust, repeat.
Books are my offline mode — new ideas, new worlds and a break from the screen.
Chords, riffs and a lot of practice. Learning guitar taught me that consistency beats talent.
There's always something playing — while coding, travelling or just winding down.
Born in the Steel City, where curiosity about how things work slowly turned into curiosity about how software works.
Grew up across the country. New schools, new friends and new cities taught me to adapt quickly, pick things up fast and feel at home anywhere.
Started my own enterprise, registered as an MSME, to build and ship products, beginning with PRAXIS at praxis.sophomorelabs.in.
Studying Computer Science & Engineering, building real projects and learning by shipping.
Took on the ICPC prelims. Didn't qualify, gained a huge amount of experience and a serious upgrade in DSA.
More products, more contests, and a stronger shot at the next ICPC season.
