Hi there, I’m

Div

Hi there

My name is Divyanshu Pabia and I am a final year student completing his Bachelors of Technology, majoring in Computer Science at the SRM Institute of Science and Technology. I have a passion for all things technology and perfectionism, from software engineering & machine learning to web3, blockchain and app development.

In addition to my love of technology and innovation, I am also interested in f1, trading, travelling and swimming.

Below are details of some of projects I have developed over my 3 plus years of coding experience.

Projects

decentralized-fiverr

2024

As the demand for machine learning and AI continues to grow, the need for well-labeled and structured data becomes increasingly critical. To address this, I developed decentralized-fiverr, a platform that connects users who need data tasks completed with workers who can perform these tasks. Whether it's image labeling, multiple choice surveys, or categorizing unstructured data, decentralized-fiverr facilitates a seamless interaction between job posters and workers. Users post requests and deposit a payout in advance, ensuring transparency and commitment. Payments are securely managed using Solana and Phantom Wallet, providing a reliable and efficient transaction process.

The decentralized-fiverr platform is built with a robust Web2 backend and Web3 integrations. The backend, developed using Node.js and Express, handles user authentication, task management, and interactions with AWS services. Users can sign in, post tasks, generate presigned URLs for secure image uploads, and manage tasks through a set of well-defined endpoints.

On the frontend, there are two separate interfaces: one for requesters and another for workers. Requesters can post tasks, upload images, and deposit payments. Workers can sign in, view available tasks, submit completed tasks, and check their balances. The integration with Solana and Phantom Wallet ensures that all payments are securely processed and tracked on the blockchain, providing transparency and security for all transactions.

The platform also includes a feature for linking user accounts with wallet addresses, facilitating seamless payments and ensuring that workers are fairly compensated for their efforts. By leveraging AWS for data storage and utilizing Web3 technologies for payments, decentralized-fiverr offers a comprehensive solution for the growing need for structured data in various industries, particularly those reliant on machine learning and AI.


My Own Programming Language

2024

For a while now I have been fascinated by computer languages and when over the semester break, I had a bit of time on my hands, I decided to—as an academic exercise—design my own language. My language consists of two components; the recursive descent parser which first lexers and tokenizes the input before generating an abstract syntax tree (AST); and the interpreter which traverses the AST and produces the appropriate output.

My language currently includes features such as closures, lambda expressions, first class and pure functions, making it well-suited to functional programming. In addition to this I plan to add support for multithreading and a stronger type system plus optimizations for tail-call recursion. I am also experimenting with implementing a stack based virtual machine—bytecode interpreter—to run my language.

Glowbal

2024

As part of the university subject IT Project, I was required to produce an ePortfolio web app as part of a small group. We called our app Glowbal and built it with TypeScript, React, Express and employed an agile development process. I was a front end lead and wrote most of the UI components. I was also responsible for accessibility testing and ensuring users of all abilities could access our app.

Cyber Heist

2023

For the subject Graphics and Interaction, I worked in a team to produce a time based endless runner game called CyberHeist. The game was built in Unity/C# and made use of a number of Azure APIs to add online play functionality. I was responsible for most of the online investigation and a large amount of the game logic, shader programming and user testing. CyberHeist received a final mark of over 95% and the trailer can be found below.

Pavilion

2023

At university, in addition to my computer science subjects, I completed a number of architecture and design electives. In one of my favourite architecture subjects we had to design and 3D print a pavilion using parametric tools and present it in VR with Unreal Engine. I programmatically modeled a magnetic field and extracted the field lines to inform the structure of my pavilion. I enjoyed this assignment so much I decided to extend myself and produce a number of 3D ray traced renders some of which are below.

Brick Breaker

2022

The below screenshot is of a university assignment, where we had to follow a spec and use object oriented design principles and patterns to produce a brick-breaker type game in Java. I finished with time to spare so decided to implement a real time lighting and particle engine from scratch. The engine was capable of handling different lights at different intensities, intersecting shadows and a large number of shadow casting game objects.

Jackalope

2021

In my final year of high school I took a subject called Visual Communication Design (VCD). As part of VCD we were given the assignment to develop and fulfill a brief for a fictional client. I gave myself the brief to design a series of smart home appliances for the made up company Jackalope and produce accompanying visual identity and advertising material. Below is a poster of a smart speakers I designed with the Jackalope logo in the corner. See more of this project on

Project L

2017

Over the years I have made many games, with the screenshot below representing one of them from around 2017. Probably one of the more technically challenging games I have created, it was an open world VR sandbox written in Unity, where you could interact, move, rotate and scale the objects in the world to build anything you wanted.

Great Balls of Fire

2015-16

Great Balls of Fire was a game I made when I was 13 years old and is one of the creations I am most proud of. It was an endless scroller where you played as the titular Ball of Fire, attempting to stay in the sky by jumping on air ships. It was published on the App Store and Play Store and remained there for a number of years (before I got tired of paying Apple's developer fee) and even netted a few thousand downloads.

The Golden Pack

2014-15

When I was 12 years old, I played a lot of Minecraft however, I was never very happy with the low resolution look of the game. I decided to remedy this by creating a texture pack, which is a file containing alternative looks or textures for the objects in the game. When I put my work online, after some refinement I received my first 1000 downloads. Spotting a business opportunity, I added ads to the download link. My texture pack was downloaded over 50,000 times, earning me a few hundred dollars.

This represents just a small selection of the projects I have worked on over the years. I have many more pieces of personal, university and design work.
