I’m Siddhesh Sonar, a Computer Software Engineering student at Government Polytechnic Mumbai (Aug ’24 – Jun ’26) and a self-taught Android + AI developer with over 5 years of practical build/ship experience. I’ve worked across custom AOSP modules, shipped production apps, and architected ToolNeuron — an offline, privacy-first AI chat and plugin ecosystem for Android secured by hardware-backed encryption.
