CS Graduate → Fashion Technology
Hyderabad, India → Milano, Italia
Applying — IED / Istituto Marangoni 2025–26
A software engineer learning to
read cloth the way I read code—
one system at a time.
I am a Computer Science graduate from Hyderabad, India. I have spent four years studying software systems, data structures, and web development. I am now teaching myself fashion—its history, its construction, its language.
This portfolio documents that transition honestly. These projects are not polished professional work. They are first attempts, learning experiments, and proofs-of-concept built by someone who is serious enough to start before they feel ready.
I want to study fashion technology in Italy because I believe the most interesting work happens at the intersection—where programming meets pattern-making, where data meets drape.
Project 01 — Web App — 2025
★ First web project in fashion context
A browser-based tool where you can build fashion mood boards by dragging colour swatches, uploading reference images, and adding text notes. Built with vanilla HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—no frameworks. Inspired by how designers at Maison Margiela compiled physical reference boards.
002
Utility Tool — 2025
★ Colour theory meets CSS
Enter up to 5 clothing colours and get a harmony analysis—complementary, triadic, or analogous. Helped me understand colour theory from a fashion perspective. Built entirely in vanilla JS with HSL calculations.
003
Utility Tool — 2024
★ Practical problem I actually faced
A size conversion tool for clothing and shoes between Indian and Italian standards. Built this to solve a real problem when researching Italian brands. Simple but functional. My first project combining design research with coding.
004
Concept Lookbook — 2024
★ First fashion concept I designed
A six-look fictional capsule collection concept for a deconstructivist minimal brand. No sewing—purely a design thinking and visual communication exercise. Layouts done in Figma, rendered as a web page. Inspired by Margiela SS1989.
005
TypeScript App — 2026
★ First TypeScript-first project
A live outfit planning tool that updates recommendations as you change weather, occasion, and colour mood. Built with typed models and real-time UI updates while preserving this portfolio's minimal visual language.
Every project in this portfolio was built while I was still learning. The act of making is how I learn. I would rather show imperfect work than explain perfect intentions.
Personal principle
CS trained me to see structure everywhere. Fashion is not decoration—it is a system of silhouette, proportion, construction, and context. I approach both the same way.
After Issey Miyake
I am not pretending to be a fashion designer. I am a software engineer who is learning fashion seriously. That specificity—not false confidence—is my strongest asset.
Core admission statement
Deconstruction
"The label removed. The seam reversed. The garment as its own critique."
MMMinimal Utility
"Fashion as infrastructure. The oversized silhouette as cultural monument."
YZTechnology + Cloth
"A single piece of cloth. Infinite structural possibility through fold."
IMRadical Simplicity
"Remove everything unnecessary. What remains should be inevitable."
