Creator of Vedh Krishnan Technologies
A not-for-profit software organization based on artificial intelligence, driven to improve the education, business, and athletic fields.
Projects:
Gigiano AI: the ultimate AP World/Euro History teacher, aimed to help you better conceptualize history and the AP writing process. The AI is powered by GPT and is trained off of all the lectures given by AP World/Euro History teacher Mr. Gigiano. The AI is designed to talk and act exactly like Mr. Gigiano.
Link: exclusive to Lake Forest High School
Tempo Tee (Extra Tee Golf product): what if your shot could be improved just by analyzing the sound of it? Using the power of AI and algorithms like the Fast Fourier Transform, this becomes a reality.
Link (still in the very early stages): tempotee.statichost.app
InfiniPuzzles: infinitely many unique puzzles/creation tools made possible by AI generated algorithms and programming focused on dealing with large sets of data.
InfiniPuzzles - Poetry: sparked by a task given by my 10th grade English teacher to "redefine" and revive poetry, I embarked on developing a game where players can get quizzed conceptually on the famous eras of poetry such as the Renaissance (Shakespearean Sonnets), the Romantic Era, and Modern/Post-Modern Era and create unique genres of poetry based on the combinations of the previous eras. The aim is to make poetry popular again, by redefining the way one can enjoy/interpret and create poems through puzzles and games.

Matrix Calculator: designed to do row-operations on matrices while showing steps, finding determinants, and finding inverses of matrices. I plan to add more features in the future such as an eigenvalue and eigenvector calculator, row-operations with variables, etc.

Created a new Website for my Grandfather
After a 17-year corporate career in India and Nigeria and an educational background from institutions such as IIT Bombay and IIM Ahmedabad, my grandfather, Sundaram Subharatnam, transitioned to a 24-year career as a math educator and a principal at schools such as the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Reliance Foundation School. He wrote Understanding Primary Math to share his insights on K-8 mathematics, showcasing the importance of conceptual understanding over computational procedures and pure memorization. During my visit to India in 2024, I created a brand new website for him, which took 10+ hours of nonstop work, to better showcase the 390+ chapters and make primary math concepts accessible and enjoyable for teachers and students.
