📱 Mobile apps
India or Pakistan
Can you spot the difference between India and Pakistan?
Why?: I believe that the majority of people in India and Pakistan want to live by each other's happiness, not each other's misery. I build this Android app because I wanted to show that despite the conflict between the two countries, the people of India and Pakistan are still the same.
What happened?: Home run! More than 380,000 downloads worldwide. 4.2 rating on Google Play store.

🤖 Chatbots
Smokey on Facebook Messenger
Facebook Messenger is the most popular messaging platform in the world. Smokey makes real-time air quality data accessible and easy-to-understand to all of them.
Smokey on Twitter
Twitter doesn't have as many users as Facebook or Instagram, but most academics, media professionals, students, NGOs, environmentalists and others spend a lot of time on the social platform. Smokey brings beautifully designed air quality reports to all.
Multi-lingual Smokey on Twitter
More than 92% of people on earth do not have clean air. Most people in the world don't speak English, that's why I taught Smokey how to speak 20+ languages like Hindi, Nepali, etc. to bring beautifully designed air quality reports to a non-english speaking audience.
Smokey on Whatsapp
Whatsapp is by far the most popular messaging platform in India and many other countries. If you want word of mouth in India, you need to be able to dominate Whatsapp. Even though Whatsapp doesn't have an API or encourages chatbots, I had to figure it out because it's important.

Delhi vs London, New York, Beijing and Sydney
How does Delhi's air quality compare to some other major cities in the world? I build this twitter bot that tweets every 15 minutes with a beautifully-designed tweet comparing Delhi's air quality to Beijing, London, New York City and Sydney.
🗺️ Map
Emoji Air Pollution Map v2
When I moved from Minneapolis to Delhi in 2015, I anticipated many of India's challenges - but didn't realize that breathing would slowly be killing me too.
It's not just an India (or China) problem either. The WHO says that more than 6.5 million people die every year worldwide due to air pollution! Air pollution sucks but keeping an eye on the air quality in your city and figuring out how to protect yourself should be straight forward. That's why I made this map for you. Although it wouldn't be possible without OpenAQ, the World Health Organization, NASA and EmojiOne.
This is the high water mark of my creative work thusfar. It's ingenius if you ask me.

Email Air Pollution Map v1
The first version of the Emoji Air Pollution Map. It contained data from over 8,000 air quality stations around the world in 64 countries. It was a revolutionary idea. How about we dismiss all numbers altogether? No more Air Quality Index numbers. No more PM2.5 values. No more micro grams per meter cubed. Just emojis. This simple idea turned into something really special.

I have a dream that one day people will be judged by the content of their character, and not the color of their passport.

How To Speak Canadian
Chrome Extension: Yonge Street is the longest street in North America. But how do you pronounce it? Is it Yonjee or Yongay? Neither, it's Young. Also, Quay is pronounced Key. There are dozens of words like this in Canada.
I can't be the only one struggling with this, so I created this little chrome extension for newcomers, visitors, immigrants and aspiring immigrants to Canada.
