Pranav Bhaven Savla

Blind developer, student and video creator, also known as Blindie Phoenix

Hi, I’m Pranav Bhaven Savla, or Pranav Savla for short. I’m blind, I live in India, and I do everything with VoiceOver, the screen reader built into Apple devices, including writing code and making videos.

What I make

Paperclip, a free daily trading puzzle. You start with a red paperclip and trade your way up to the day’s prize. I built it screen-reader-first, so blind and sighted players get the same puzzle. Why I made Paperclip.
Short, funny videos about tech and everyday life as a blind person, as Blindie Phoenix (@imtheblindiephoenix) on Instagram and YouTube.

Studies

I’m studying for a BTech at Plaksha University.
