## Case studies

- [How I Build Android Apps for Thousands of Classroom Panels](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/teachmint-ifp/): Making Android apps work on 4K classroom screens: recordings that don't get lost, an app that opens faster, pens from different vendors, and hardware rules phones never have.
- [How I Made Offline AI Run 7× Faster on a Classroom Panel](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/on-device-ai/): Getting language, image and speech AI to run on a classroom panel with no internet: which chip to use, how to stop an AI crash taking the app down, and the measurements that changed the plan.
- [How I Cut Lost Lecture Recordings by 94%](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/recording-engine-v5/): Teachers were losing lesson recordings to crashes, swipe-kills and other apps. Rebuilding the whiteboard's screen recorder so a two-hour lesson survives all three, and so we find out when one doesn't.
- [How I Raised Offline Textbook Search Accuracy from 73% to 87%](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/android-rag/): Letting a classroom AI answer from NCERT textbooks with no internet. The biggest gains came from checking the PDFs and searching only the student's own class and subject, not from a bigger model.
- [How I Took a Classroom AI Assistant to 12 Languages and 4 Panel Brands](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/edu-ai-global/): Leading an AI assistant for classroom panels sold outside India: telling devices apart on firmware we don't control, Arabic layouts, faster pens through a vendor's SDK, and prompt changes without an app update.
- [How I Let an AI Assistant Use the Teacher's Login Without Seeing a Password](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/android-sso/): A teacher signs in to the whiteboard once, and the AI assistant on the same panel knows who they are, without either app ever handing the other a password, token or cookie.
- [How I Built a Private AI That Writes Up My Workday, Fully Offline](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/daybook/): A Mac app that listens through the day, transcribes Hindi–English conversations, knows who said what, and writes a daily report against my goals, with nothing leaving the laptop.
- [How I Made Classroom Panels Update Themselves, Even Through Crashes and Reboots](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/ota-sdk/): Panels sit in classrooms with nobody to tap "Update". An SDK that lets a preinstalled app update itself on four panel brands, pick up where it left off after a crash, and work on firmware that refused the permission it needed.
- [How I Turned One-Off WebViews into a Platform for Teachmint's AI Tutor](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/edubits-webview-platform/): Running Teachmint's web products inside the Android app without blank screens: a bridge that waits until the page is ready, web screens that stay alive between pages, and errors that say what went wrong.
- [How I Shipped Leagues, Streaks and a Social Feed for Students in 3 Months](https://shubhamsinghbisht.com/projects/student-gamification/): A weekly leaderboard, Boost, and a social feed for students, where likes, updates and sharing all had to feel instant on low-end phones.
