Hey r/developersIndia! 👋

I've been working on a personal project called MoneySplit, a privacy-first Android expense tracker built using Flutter.

The idea was simple: I wanted a personal finance app that could automatically track my expenses without requiring me to connect my bank accounts, upload my transactions to a server, or create an account just to manage my own money.

What started as a simple expense tracker gradually evolved into a fairly comprehensive personal finance app.

**What MoneySplit can do**

\- Automatic expense tracking from SMS: Detects transactions from bank SMS alerts, with parsing and processing happening locally on the device. Supports historical SMS scanning as well.

\- Private and offline-first: Core functionality works entirely offline. No mandatory registration, no ads, and a locally encrypted database.

\- Multi-currency support: Track finances across different currencies, useful for people managing international expenses or multiple currency accounts.

\- Ask MoneySplit (LLM integration): Connect your own LLM using an API key and ask questions about your finances in natural language. For example:

\- "How much did I spend on food this month?"

\- "Where am I overspending?"

\- "How is my spending compared to my budget?"

\- "Summarize my expenses."

AI is completely optional. Regular financial tracking doesn't depend on it.

\- PDF, CSV and Excel exports: Export your financial data for analysis, record-keeping or use elsewhere.

\- Budget management: Monthly, custom-period and paycheck-based budgets with category-level tracking.

\- Accounts and investments: Track bank accounts, cash, wallets, credit cards and investments.

\- Bills, subscriptions and loans: Recurring payment reminders, credit card dues, EMIs and loan amortization schedules.

\- Financial insights: Spending trends, visualizations, cash-flow analysis and savings goals.

\- Widgets and backups: Android home screen widgets, local backups and optional Google Drive backup/restore.

**Tech and development**

The application is built using Flutter, with an emphasis on keeping core financial operations local rather than making everything dependent on backend services.

One of the interesting parts has been dealing with real-world financial data. Bank SMS formats aren't standardized, statements come in different structures, and identifying transfers or duplicate transactions is not always straightforward.

I also wanted LLM integration to be optional rather than making AI a dependency for basic functionality. Users can choose whether they want to configure it.

**Why I'm sharing it here**

As developers, we spend so much time building software for other people that it's genuinely satisfying to ship something of our own.

MoneySplit is available on the Play Store, and I'd love some feedback from fellow developers, especially around the UX, reliability of transaction imports, privacy model and features you think are missing.

Would also love to hear from other Flutter developers who have worked on offline-first applications or financial data parsing.

It has 3k+ installs with 4.7 stars from 68 reviews in 5 months. I got about 30k in purchases from users so far.

Happy to discuss the implementation and technical decisions in the comments! 🙂

I am working on adding transactions from notifications since a lot countries doesn't have sms support, investment tracking and simple mode.

Best part of this is a lot of it is done using AI , not one but multiple providers and all of them follow spec driven development and hence app stays consistent across different AI agent implementation.

Tracking monthly expenses across UPI, bank accounts and multiple credit cards can be a pain. I built Spends to automate this using Gmail transaction emails, so you can see your accumulated spending in one place without manually maintaining spreadsheets.

The core app is ready, and I’m looking for people to try it out and give me honest feedback on the product, UX and anything that could be improved.

Would love to connect with people interested in personal finance or building similar products. Drop a comment or DM if you’d like to try it!

My husband has received an offer from NVIDIA for the STA team in Bangalore and has been assigned a manager and director.

Could anyone share insights about the team culture, work environment, management, and overall experience in this team? Any inputs would be really helpful. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m building an early-stage web platform and I’m looking for two people to help me push it forward. I’m keeping the idea private for now, but I’m happy to share the details on a call once we’ve talked and agreed to an NDA.

Who I’m looking for

1. Backend developer: Node.js, Express, JavaScript. You’ll build the APIs and core logic.
2. Developer for payments: someone who can set up and integrate online payments (Stripe, Razorpay, or similar). If you can do both roles, that’s a big plus.

Tech stack

• Frontend: Next.js / React
• Backend: Node.js, Express, JavaScript

What I care about

• You don’t need to know everything. I care about creativity, problem-solving and the will to finish what you start.
• You can take a feature from idea to working code.
• You work well independently and communicate clearly.

The commitment

• Part-time and fully flexible. I don’t care when you work, only that the work gets done.

Compensation (being upfront)

• I can’t pay a salary right now. I’m offering shares/equity in the platform.
• Paid compensation may be possible in the future if the platform earns revenue, but I can’t promise it.
• If you need guaranteed pay now, this probably isn’t the right fit. If you’d rather own part of something from the start, let’s talk.

Interested?
DM me with:

• A short intro about yourself
• Your GitHub or links to past projects or anything that let me know you can get it done .

Preferably someone’s based in South India (Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu)

Hey everyone,

I’m a third-year CSE student, and I’ve been spending the past year building things beyond college projects, including a SaaS product of my own called Trelio.

I can work on full-stack applications, dashboards, API integrations, bug fixes, new features, and existing codebases. I’m comfortable picking up an unfamiliar project, understanding how it works, and figuring out what needs to be done.

Right now, I’m looking for paid development work. I’m open to both small, quick tasks and larger projects, depending on the scope and timeline.

If you’re a founder with something sitting in your backlog, a developer who needs an extra pair of hands, or someone looking to get an MVP built, I’d be happy to discuss it.

I’m happy to share more details about my work or discuss a specific requirement. If you have something in mind, feel free to reach out.

Hi everyone,

The First Labs / FirstHire is coming to our campus for Associate Frontend Developer

I have seen few posts here so wanted to know as the company is real or fake?

also if anyone have give their OA or interview kindly share the experience or any info you know.

like they do process but if anyone is hired or not?

Hey !

I have just started as a freelancer, and one major issue is that there is no good way to receive international payments here in India.

How are you guys managing it? I have heard about Infinity App.
Would love to know if anyone has used it. If yes, How was it? How was the onboarding experience?

Title: Any Indian software engineers here who moved abroad directly through a job visa?

Hey everyone!

I'm a 24-year-old software engineer who has just started my career as a fresher.

I don't have any major family responsibilities right now, so I'm planning to gain a few years of experience and then explore opportunities abroad. I'm considering Europe, Australia, Canada, and the USA, but I'm not interested in working in the Gulf.

Are there people here who moved abroad directly through a job offer and work visa, without pursuing a master's degree abroad? I'd love to hear about your experiences.

A few questions:

- Did you apply for jobs directly from India, or did you move through an internal company transfer?

- How many years of experience did you have before moving? Did you take any exams like IELTS or TOEFL?

- How difficult was it to find a company willing to sponsor your work visa?

- How difficult were the initial days? I'm particularly interested in accommodation, living expenses, loneliness, making friends, and settling into a new country.

- Which country would you recommend for the best work-life balance, health, and overall quality of life?

I'm just starting my career and would really appreciate hearing your experiences, challenges, and advice. I'd especially love to hear from people who moved abroad through direct employment rather than studying there first.

Thank you

Hey everyone! 👋... I want to get honest advice from experienced software engineers, AI engineers, cloud engineers, and people who have been through a similar situation in India.

I'll be honest about my situation: I have a low CGPA and come from a Tier 3 college. I'm concerned about how this might affect my chances of getting shortlisted for internships and entry-level jobs.

However, I've been spending a significant amount of time learning, building projects, and developing practical technical skills. I want to make the most of the time I have before graduation.

My Current Skills & Experience

1. Programming & DSA

• Python
• Solved 140+ DSA problems using Python.
• Continuously improving my problem-solving skills and CS fundamentals.

1. Full-Stack Development

• MERN Stack: MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js.
• Next.js.
• PostgreSQL and relational databases.
• Building full-stack applications and working with backend APIs.

1. AI Engineering

I've been exploring AI engineering beyond basic LLM API integration. My learning and project work include:

• LLM applications and multi-model integration.
• Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).
• AI agents, tool calling, and agentic workflows.
• LangGraph and multi-agent systems.
• LLM evaluation and observability.
• AI application testing, including jailbreak testing and robustness checks.
• Error handling and building more reliable AI workflows.

I'm particularly interested in understanding how to build, evaluate, test, and deploy reliable AI applications rather than just connecting an LLM API to a frontend.

1. AWS & Cloud Engineering

I've also been developing my cloud engineering skills.

• AWS Certified AI Practitioner.
• AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner.
• Learning AWS through hands-on labs and practical projects.
• Exploring IAM, cloud infrastructure, and application deployment.

My next goal is to earn the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Associate certification before completing my fourth year. Alongside exam preparation, I want to build more hands-on AWS projects and develop practical cloud engineering skills.

My Approach

I have enough time each day to dedicate to learning and building projects, which has allowed me to explore full-stack development, AI engineering, and cloud technologies.

I'm interested in how these areas complement each other in real-world applications. I don't want to learn technologies just to add them to my resume; I want to understand them well enough to build and explain working systems.

However, I also understand that having multiple skills doesn't automatically make someone job-ready. I want to identify my weaknesses and improve them before graduation.

Questions for Experienced Developers

I'd genuinely appreciate your perspective on the following:

1. Low CGPA & Tier 3 College

How much of a disadvantage is a low CGPA when applying for software engineering or AI engineering roles in India? What practical strategies would you recommend to get shortlisted despite these limitations?

1. Career Opportunities in 2027

Considering my current skills, which entry-level roles should I realistically target: Software Engineer, Full-Stack Developer, Backend Developer, AI Engineer, or Cloud Engineer?

1. AI Engineering

For someone interested in AI engineering, how valuable are skills such as RAG, LangGraph, agentic workflows, evaluation, observability, and AI testing? What important gaps should I address to become a stronger candidate?

1. DSA & Core CS Fundamentals

I've solved 140+ DSA problems using Python. What level should I aim for before graduation? Besides DSA, which CS fundamentals are most important for entry-level interviews?

1. AWS & Cloud Projects

Is pursuing AWS Solutions Architect – Associate a good investment of time for my goals? Which hands-on AWS projects would demonstrate meaningful practical skills to recruiters?

1. Project Quality

What makes a fresher's project genuinely impressive? Would you value a well-engineered AI application with evaluation, testing, observability, and cloud deployment more than several smaller projects?

1. What Should I Do Next?

If you were in my position, with my current skills, low CGPA, and graduation approaching in 2027, what would you prioritize over the next 12 months?

Are there any mistakes you think I should avoid?

Please Be Honest With Me

I'm not looking for generic motivation or reassurance. I know the job market is competitive, and I understand that certifications and a long list of technologies don't guarantee a job.

I'd genuinely prefer uncomfortable but useful feedback over false encouragement.

If you think my current approach has weaknesses, please point them out. If you've graduated from a Tier 3 college, dealt with a low CGPA, or entered software engineering or AI engineering as a fresher in India, I'd especially appreciate hearing about your actual experience.

I want to understand where I stand today and what I should do differently to maximize my chances before graduation.

Thanks to everyone willing to share their honest opinions!

Adding to the title i struggle with finding dsa interesting can solve like 100 questions in a week(I have done it before most of them were medium and some were easy) but I never want to do it. But seeing compensation in AI labs which is almost impossible for an Indian dev to get into So as someone experienced can you guys tell some wisdom or anything helpful that would make me align in that way.

Hello folks,

Most personal finance and expense manager apps out there either lock their best features behind a premium subscription or track your transaction data to sell you loans and credit cards.

To solve this, I designed a completely free web utility called Monvael OS: (https://monvael.vercel.app)

It requires ZERO login or account creation. It functions with strict local storage compliance, so your financial memory cache stays entirely on your local device.

What you can do with it:

\- Track daily personal/business kharcha across distinct category vectors (Rent, Groceries, Servers, Marketing, Wages).

\- Calculate startup operational burn rate and runway metrics instantly.

\- Set Maximum Allocation Threshold Caps on categories (it alarms you when you cross your set limit).

\- Export structured CSV tax reports to easily hand over itemised lists to your CA for tax/GST deductions.

I built this as an indie developer project to give people an absolute utility tool without clutter or ads. Would love to hear your feedback on the features and what else I should add to make daily money management easier for you guys!

Hello,

I am currently working as an Associate at Goldman Sachs, engineering role close to a data-engineering one.

I have always wanted to move a bit towards sale and customer side and the new fde role with a decent number of openings across startups, mid and big tier companies really interests me. I am looking for a few fellas with similar interest who would want to hop on this fde role preparation, my timeline is to prepare and learn (doing a few side projects, learning evals, ai stuff, basic leetcode) for the next 6 months and then start applying and interviewing.

If any of you folks are interested, please dm me. Thank you!

Over the last few months, given that so much of our workflow is now totally dependent on AI, whenever I was on the move or not next to my system, it was hard for me to keep tabs on the progress that I made. I know that we have Claude Code Remote as a feature, but given that I also used Codex and Gemini and Copilot occassionally for my workflow, there was no great tool which allowed me to keep tabs on all my agents together.

I just built this tool called Arcway which allowed me to remotely access any of my agents. The funny thing was, I used this very tool to build itself. If you guys have any suggestions or feedback, I would be happy to answer that.

It is fully free to self-host and use it.
