Software Developer · Nagpur, India

Hi, I'm Joy. I build software that actually ships.

I'm a developer from Nagpur who learns by building. I've published an open source Python library, built tools for real businesses, and I'm always working on the next thing. If it saves time, removes busywork or solves a real problem, I want to build it.

What I build

I like the full journey from a rough idea to something people can use. Here is where most of my work lands.

AI-Powered Tools

Tools that use AI to save time, from smart workflows to assistants that handle repetitive work.

Web Scraping & Data Extraction

Reliable scrapers for tricky sites, including dynamic pages and bot-protected ones.

Full-Stack Web Apps

Fast, clean web applications with a solid backend, database and a UI people enjoy using.

Business Automation & CRM

Systems that cut manual work for businesses: lead handling, workflows, dashboards.

Open Source Developer Tools

Libraries and apps I publish so other developers can use, learn from and improve them.

Data & Dashboards

Turning messy data into clear reports and dashboards using Power BI, Excel and Python.

Who's behind the code?

I'm Joy Athawale, a software developer from Nagpur, India. I have a BTech degree, but most of what I know I learned by building things, breaking them and fixing them.

I work at a Digital Marketing Agency as a Software Developer and as a manager, so I see both sides: how to build something well, and why a business needs it. That keeps my work practical. I care about code that is clean, products that are simple to use, and results a client can actually measure.

Outside of client work I build in public. I publish open source tools, test new ideas quickly and keep improving what I've shipped.

I ship real products

IntelliScrape, Floure and Dineza started as ideas and became working software.

I build in public

My work is open source where possible, so you can read the code, not just my claims.

I understand the business side

Working inside an agency means I think about users, clients and outcomes, not just features.

Things I've built

A mix of open source tools, client-ready products and experiments. Each one taught me something.

Open sourcePythonWeb scraping

IntelliScrape

A scraping library that keeps going when websites push back.

IntelliScrape is a Python library for extracting data from websites, including modern dynamic pages and sites with bot protection. If one scraping engine fails, it automatically falls back to another, so you spend less time debugging and more time using the data. It also supports async workflows, a command line interface and website mirroring.

LeadRadar

Find businesses that need a better online presence, faster.

LeadRadar helps you discover businesses by location and category, then enriches each one with website, phone, reviews and business status. It removes duplicates, checks whether Street View or 360 coverage exists, and keeps a history of every lead. It was built to replace hours of manual research with a searchable dashboard.

Floure

Voice typing that stays on your machine.

Floure is a desktop speech-to-text app built around privacy. Your voice is processed locally, so nothing needs to be sent to a cloud service. It is designed for people who want fast dictation without giving up control of their data.

Dineza

QR ordering and a simple dashboard for restaurants.

Dineza lets diners scan a QR code to browse the menu and place an order, while the restaurant manages everything from one dashboard: menu items, incoming orders and day-to-day operations. It is a work in progress, and I'm building it with real restaurant workflows in mind.

Digify Cards

A visiting card that lives on your phone.

Digify Cards lets people share their contact details and professional profile with a single tap or scan using NFC. No paper, no typing numbers into a phone, and the card can be updated any time.

Matrix Box

An Arduino kit for learning electronics by doing.

Matrix Box is a hands-on Arduino learning kit for students who want to move from theory to real circuits and code. It is built around small, achievable projects that make electronics feel less scary.

Beyond the Code.

Code fills most of my days, but it's not all of me. Away from the screen you'll find me deep in a good movie or series, planning the next road trip, or doing the thing I've loved since I was a kid: singing.

Movies & Series

A good story is the fastest way for me to switch off. Whether it's a movie night or one more episode that somehow turns into five, it's how I take a break from the routine and step into someone else's world for a while.

Happiest on the road

Travel & Road Trips

I'd pick a road trip over a flight any day. The destination is great, but the drive is where the fun is: the detours, the unplanned stops, the places you only find because you weren't in a hurry.

Where I feel most like myself

Music Has Always Been Part of Me

I've been singing for as long as I can remember. It started on school stages, in assemblies and in the choir, and by the time I reached college I knew I wasn't going to stop.

In college I became President of the Music Club and held the role for two years. I organised shows and performed in them, on campus and outside it, and I built a college band that got noticed through public performances.

Music isn't something I picked up to fill time. Singing, playing guitar, trying out a new instrument: it's where I feel most like myself.

Some of my singing and guitar performances live on my Instagram, if you'd like to hear what I'm talking about.

  1. Childhood: Started singing
  2. School: Stage performances, assemblies and choir
  3. College: President of the Music Club for two years
  4. College: Shows and performances, on campus and outside
  5. College: Built a college band
  6. Today: Still singing, still on guitar, still trying new instruments

Let's build something useful.

Got a project, a problem worth solving or an opportunity? I'd love to hear about it.
