Highlighted Projects
🤖 Aurora Agent
Aurora Agent is an AI-powered personal assistant built with a React frontend and Django REST backend. It leverages the Gemini API to deliver real-time, human-like conversations with intelligent context handling. Visit the live version at chat.parsameshkini.com .
Deployment: Aurora Agent is deployed on Render — hosting both Django API and React frontend seamlessly for real-time interaction and fast scaling.
Architecture: The backend communicates securely with the Gemini API to process contextual prompts and generate human-like responses. The React frontend provides a minimal, responsive interface optimized for chat performance.
Future Vision: The project will evolve into a full personal AI dashboard with:
- Persistent memory for personalized sessions
- User dashboard with chat history, insights, and analytics
- File upload and content summarization support
- Voice-to-text and text-to-speech integration
- Calendar & productivity tools powered by Gemini context
Stack: React • Django REST Framework • Gemini API • Render • Tailwind UI.

About Me
I’m a Computer Science student at York University with a strong interest in
back-end development, APIs, and system design.
My academic foundation includes data structures,
computer organization, databases, and
object-oriented programming, which I apply when building practical,
production-oriented software.
I have hands-on experience developing full-stack and back-end applications using
Python, Django, Django REST Framework, JavaScript, and SQL, with an emphasis
on clean architecture, scalability, and
maintainability.
Alongside technical work, I bring proven leadership and
operations experience from assistant management roles in high-volume
environments, as well as student leadership positions within Toronto’s tech and science
community.
