Ujan Sarkar

I’m a student developer motivated by building technology with clear social relevance, especially systems that interact with the physical world and public infrastructure. I’m interested in problems where technical decisions—around data collection, validation, and system design—directly impact reliability, safety, and real-world outcomes.

I enjoy working across the stack, combining system architecture, data processing, and applied computation to turn abstract ideas into functional prototypes. Some of my projects include Microclog, a system focused on localized environmental data logging and analysis, and TarmacSkin, which explores technology-driven approaches to understanding and monitoring road and surface conditions. Through these projects, I’ve gained experience designing end-to-end systems that bridge sensors, software, and decision logic.

I participate in hackathons to learn by building, collaborate with others, and test ideas under real constraints. I value clean design, practical execution, and building systems that are not only technically sound but also meaningful in real-world contexts. Some of my amazing experiences include winning best innovative project award at Smart Make-a-thon, then runner up at Technologia 1.0 and advancing into finals at Square Hacks at IIT Delhi.

Outside of development, I enjoy long discussions over chai, breaking down ideas, reading books, and thinking about how technology can be used more responsibly and effectively.
