Third-year B.Tech Computer Science student and co-founder of NOOL — turning ideas into reality through code, and currently diving deeper into web development, DSA, system design, and cloud technologies.
About
I'm Aashish S, a third-year B.Tech Computer Science student from Kozhikode, Kerala, and co-founder of NOOL — a startup building a marketplace for custom embroidered fashion. I have a strong foundation in programming, a growing interest in full-stack web development, and a passion for writing clean, efficient code.
Hello there
B.Tech Computer Science & Engineering · KTU
Building clean, meaningful experiences through thoughtful code and quiet design — calm-minded, curious, and always up for a challenge. Currently pouring that energy into NOOL, our startup for Kerala's embroidery artisans.
Third-year B.Tech CSE Student (2023–2027) · Co-founder, NOOL
Building a strong foundation in programming and front-end development while expanding into back-end — and co-founding NOOL, a marketplace for custom embroidered fashion made by Kerala's artisans.
Logic and memory management
C was one of my first programming languages — it taught me the fundamentals of logic, memory management, and how to think like a programmer.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap
My journey began by learning to structure and style real websites — exploring Bootstrap, jQuery, and VS Code through hands-on projects and online tutorials.

Mindset
Exploring System Design & Cloud
Tech stack
Grouped the way I actually work: front-end interface, languages, server-side basics, data, workflow tools, and the core concepts behind it all.
Interactive interfaces, responsive layouts, and component-based thinking.
Strong foundations across systems and web programming.
Growing server-side skills with a focus on clean, data-driven APIs.
Structured data, query design, and reliable persistence.
The workflow behind every project — from editor to deployment.
The computer-science core that shapes how I build.
Selected work
Projects I've built to sharpen my skills and explore different areas of web development — each one reflects my growing interest in front-end design and user experience.
Peer-to-Peer Skill Exchange
A platform for users to swap skills with each other — a structured way for peers to trade what they know and learn from one another.
Impact: My first full project: designing a matching flow where users list, discover, and exchange skills in a clean, usable interface.
Intelligent Chatbot
An intelligent chatbot application built to simulate human-like interaction and respond to user queries automatically.
Impact: Explored conversational UI patterns and how simple rule-driven responses can make an interface feel alive.
Full-Featured E-Commerce Website
A complete e-commerce website covering product listings, browsing, and a storefront experience built to feel like a real shop.
Impact: Learned how to structure product data, build reusable UI components, and keep the whole flow responsive.
Movie Ticket Booking System
A system for booking movie tickets — designed to model a reservation workflow end to end.
Impact: Practiced state handling for seat selection and booking flows while keeping the interface simple and clear.
Responsive UI Clone
A responsive clone of Facebook's login interface, replicating the layout, input forms, and styling to closely match the real UI.
Impact: Sharpened layout precision and responsive design — a study in matching a production interface pixel for pixel.
Simple Web Calculator
A web-based calculator that performs basic arithmetic operations, with both the UI and functionality built from scratch.
Impact: A focused exercise in JavaScript logic, keyboard-friendly input, and minimal, distraction-free UI.
Startup
NOOL is a two-sided marketplace that connects customers who want fully custom, embroidered garments directly with independent weaver-artisans — removing the large manufacturers who currently pay them the least for their skill. Built as our B.Tech final year project and submitted for the Kerala Startup Mission Idea Grant.

The problem
Our solution
Three ways to get a design
In-house design library
Pick from designs made by NOOL's in-house design team.
AI design assistant
Describe what you want, or upload a photo or logo, and get an auto-generated, embroidery-ready pattern.
Custom brief
Submit a fully custom brief for the design team to develop.
How an order flows
Customer picks a garment, designs or selects a pattern, and chooses fabric and colour.
The app shows price and estimated delivery upfront; payment is held in escrow.
The order is matched to a suitable artisan based on skill and location.
The artisan accepts and produces the garment to the exact spec.
The finished garment is packed and picked up — by NOOL's pickup agents or a courier partner.
The customer confirms delivery; payment is released to the artisan, minus commission.
Both sides rate the experience, building a trust layer for future orders.
What makes this different
Fair by design — Revenue is tied to order volume — not a flat artisan subscription — so NOOL's incentives stay aligned with helping underpaid artisans earn more.
Business model
Order commission
8–12% deducted from the artisan payout on each completed order.
Convenience fee
5–8% charged to the customer at checkout.
Premium design unlocks
Free for simple patterns; ₹99–₹499 to unlock advanced or AI-generated complex designs.
Featured Artisan plan
₹199–₹299/month for priority visibility — optional, never a mandatory cost of joining.
Artisan network
North Paravur / Chendamangalam
One of Kerala's four traditional handloom centres, with a GI tag for its dhotis and set-mundu — a structured, government-recognised entry point for onboarding artisans.
Kozhikode & the Malabar belt
Home to the historic “Malabar loom” tradition and close to our founding team — an accessible base to pilot artisan onboarding and quality processes.
Next: Balaramapuram (Thiruvananthapuram) and Kuthampully (Thrissur) — Kerala's other GI-tagged handloom clusters.
Social impact
Fairer pay
Artisans deal directly with customers through the platform, with transparent, order-based earnings instead of subcontracted rates.
Preserving a skill
Hand embroidery is a shrinking trade against machine printing; a premium, demand-generating channel supports its survival.
Flexible, distributed income
A platform-based model formalises and grows income without requiring relocation to a factory.
Roadmap
Jul 2026 – Mar 2027
Built entirely within our B.Tech final year project: requirement analysis, UI/UX and architecture (Jul–Sep), core apps and admin panel (Oct–Jan), AI assistant and Design Feasibility Engine, then testing and documentation (Feb–Mar).
After Mar 2027
Onboard pilot artisans from the Kozhikode/Malabar belt and North Paravur/Chendamangalam, launch pilot orders on shirts, kurtas and t-shirts, and refine logistics from real feedback.
Next
Grow the artisan network to additional GI-tagged handloom clusters and market to the premium, gifting, and wedding-wear segment.
Long term
Extend to sarees, jeans and other categories, explore B2B white-labelling for boutique brands, and introduce optional artisan-owned automation tooling.
6 build blocks scoped as our B.Tech final year project through March 2027.
Offerings & focus
Open to small freelance projects, collaborations, and student-level tech support. Right now I'm diving deeper into Web Development, DSA, System Design, and Cloud Technologies.
Dynamic, beautiful web pages built with HTML, CSS, and modern design principles — interfaces that wow with rich aesthetics and smooth interactions.
Interactive web applications using JavaScript and React-ready concepts, with responsiveness and functionality that feels premium.
Expanding into backend development with Node.js and Express, plus database management with MySQL and MongoDB, to build functional data-driven applications.
Proficient with Git and GitHub for version control and collaborative work — managing repositories and contributing effectively to team projects.
Proof
From my B.Tech program to the projects I've shipped — a compact proof system for education, experience, and the numbers behind my journey.
