Software Engineer & Founder — ProjectAds
Lucknow, India · irahiliqbal@gmail.com
I was raised in Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh — a quiet city on the banks of the Ganga. At 19, I relocated to Chandigarh to pursue a B.E. in Computer Science at CU Mohali. I do not build software for the sake of software. I engineer solutions that create real-world impact.
From an AI-powered IoT irrigation system that helps farmers prevent crop loss, to a blockchain credential platform that ensures tamper-proof academic verification — I build software that solves real problems. Now I am founding ProjectAds — India's first platform where anyone can advertise on premium digital billboards directly from their phone, democratizing India's ₹6,500 Cr outdoor advertising market.
Building India's first phone-to-billboard advertising SaaS platform. Full product design, engineering, and go-to-market. Disrupting the ₹6,500 Cr OOH advertising industry.
Built responsive websites and web applications for local businesses. Improved online visibility and customer engagement using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React.
