3. Tell us about the things you make / write / manage / build.

As Android Developer I published a app on playstore (https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=in.akshayrana.bodybuildingwallpapers) which loads the wallpaper of bodybuilder from my instagram. Whenever I post any image to instagram then the url of the image saved in firebase and then when user opens the app he/she will see my latest image from instagram.

It is like using instagram for image hosting somehow. And other than android, I made some websites and host them on my github pages.
