Bengaluru, India — 12.97° N, 77.59° E Portfolio — 2026 B.Tech CSE · Class of 2027

Dheeraj Guggala

I'm a computer science undergraduate who builds for the web — full-stack MERN applications, AI-powered tools built on LLM APIs, and cloud deployments on AWS. I like software that solves a real problem for real people, and I finish what I start: my projects don't sit on localhost, they ship.

Profile

I care about the whole journey of a piece of software — from the first schema, to the API that serves it, to the pixel a person actually touches.

I'm currently pursuing my Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science & Engineering at CMR University, Bengaluru, graduating in 2027. Most of my time goes into building with the MERN stack — React on the front, Node and Express in the middle, MongoDB underneath — and into the craft around it: designing clean REST APIs, writing JavaScript that doesn't fight back, and understanding what the machine is doing, not just making it work. Lately that's grown into AI engineering — wiring OpenAI, Gemini and Gmail APIs into real products, where validated, structured output matters more than a flashy demo.

Alongside the web, I've gone deep on infrastructure: I'm an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner, comfortable administering Linux systems, and I document everything in LaTeX because messy notes bother me. When I step away from the keyboard, I'm usually in a hackathon room solving someone else's problem — or on campus helping organize community drives.

Toolkit

The tools I reach for by default. Not a wall of logos — this is what I actually use to take an idea from a blank folder to a deployed URL.

Selected work

Full-stack AI platform LLM-powered Google OAuth

AI Mail Summarizer

An inbox that explains itself. Sign in with Google, sync your Gmail, and let an LLM go to work on every message: a clean summary, the key points, the action items actually buried in the text, the deadlines, and a priority and category for each email — triage done before you've read a word.

The hard part wasn't calling the AI — it was trusting it. Every response is validated against a strict JSON schema before it touches the PostgreSQL database (modeled with Prisma), so no invented deadlines or phantom tasks ever get stored. Replies are generated in a chosen tone but never sent without explicit confirmation, and the Gmail logic sits behind a provider-agnostic service layer, so Outlook can slot in later without touching the core.

Full-stack web app MERN Deployed

Library Management System

A complete system for running a small library — built as a full MERN application and deployed as a live, public service. The catalogue handles book inventories, members get real accounts through authentication, and every issue and return is recorded as a transaction, so the state of the library is always exactly known.

Express.js exposes a clean REST API for books, members and transactions, with MongoDB handling persistence. Rather than letting it die on localhost, I automated the deployment pipeline — the production instance runs on Render, so every push ships straight to the live site.

Front-end Hand-coded GitHub Pages

Personal developer portfolio

My first portfolio — a fully hand-written site in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, with zero frameworks and zero build steps, hosted on GitHub Pages. The brief I set myself: it had to feel fast everywhere.

I sweated the responsive layout so it holds up equally on a phone and a desktop, and kept the payload small enough that pages snap open on slow connections.

Beyond the classroom

Smart India Hackathon Hackathon

I teamed up with classmates to build practical software against real municipal and social problem statements — the kind where the requirements are messy, the deadline is brutal, and the solution has to actually work for someone who isn't a developer. It taught me more about scoping, dividing work and shipping under pressure than any assignment has.

TCS CodeVita — Season 13 Competitive programming

Competed in the Round 1 Qualifiers (Zone 1), solving algorithmic and data-structure problems against the clock. Contests like this keep my fundamentals honest — there's no library to hide behind when it's you, a problem, and a timer.

CMR University Community Initiatives Volunteering

An active contributor to campus-wide social responsibility drives: helping organize blood donation camps, leading eco-friendly plastic-free awareness campaigns, and assisting educational supply donation drives for local primary schools. Building software is how I want to spend my career — but showing up for the community around me isn't optional.
