hey, I'm Allen Panikulam —

From messy Problems to Working Products.

I’m a Computer Engineering student who likes building things people actually need. As co-founder of CrawlSpace, I turn customer conversations and messy problems into real products, from first idea to launch.

Off the clock

The stuff that doesn't go on a CV but explains most of how I work: teams, early mornings, and a playlist with no business being this good.

General Executive

General Executive at UCISA, helping turn ideas into events people actually wanted to show up to. I worked with the team to organise events, stayed in touch with sponsors, helped coordinate volunteers and jumped in wherever things needed to get done.
