The Academic Side

I am Vihaan, from India. I am 20 and am studying at SEU, Tbilisi, Georgia. I am a medical student who does software development, open access and animation. I do research too, particularly evidence synthesis methodologies, medicine based evidence synthesis like SRMAs, NMA. I make open-source research softwares which I believe might help research scientists reduce their workload and avoid the hassle of manual work!

As my projects are self-funded, they are hosted using Streamlit and ShinyApps. Support through GitHub Sponsors is highly appreciated and directly contributes to the sustainability of my work.

Beyond The Academics

“Aurumz” is just an online username, I made in 5th grade from the Latin word (Aurum) for gold. I've grinded countless hours on Adobe Flash/Animate, Illustrator, After Effects, and Premiere Pro.

I’ve basically used macOS my whole life and barely know how to use Windows. Other than that, I like to experiment with tech softwares like modified macOS Softwares, Adobe Softwares etc. as well as hosting local MCPs and connecting it with AI and actually exploiting it! (hehe).

I love marine aquariums. My favourite fish is the lionfish, especially pterois Radiata and Antennata (colours) and pterois Volitans (size). One day I’d love to build huge saltwater aquariums, each for lionfish, tangs + corals, and maybe even a baby Blacktip Reef Shark (If I end up rich, def not on a physician's salary 😭).

I cook food during my free time with food being 10/10 at a p-value of 0.01. There’s a lot more stuff I’m into too, but you’ll have to know me a bit to find that out!
