Student
Hi! I'm Purv, a student from Mumbai. I build apps with AI & Claude Code, design hardware, and write books.
Hi! I am Purv Taparia, a student from Grade 5 at Chatrabhuj Narsee School, Mumbai. I built this portfolio from the ground up to showcase my creative and technical abilities.
I have many skills in AI — using models like Veo 3.1 and Nano Banana Pro for video and image creation, and AI tools for Excel, PowerPoint and writing. I hold Anthropic's Claude 101, Claude Code 101 and Claude Code in Action certifications.
I program in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python and C++, build web apps with React and Next.js, and build real hardware projects with Arduino and ESP8266. I have published 5 books across Bribooks and Amazon, and write a newsletter on Beehiiv sharing thoughts and updates.
This portfolio is a living document — I add new projects, achievements and books as I complete them, rather than letting it go stale.
Everything I've shipped, published and won, newest first.
A private, local-first AI workspace for Model UN delegates — chat with your own research documents with citations, draft position papers and export them to Word or PDF, simulate an opposing delegation's arguments, and run committee timers and a paced teleprompter, all on your own computer via Ollama. — September 2026
A Duolingo-style app that teaches kids how investing works: 22 chapters of bite-sized lessons with spaced-repetition practice, streaks, XP and leagues, plus a virtual fund where kids invest coins in 14 real companies at daily closing prices.
