I’m Devansh. I run this site. Every review you read here – I tested that tool myself, on a real project, before writing a single word about it.

That’s the whole premise of evaliq.io. No shortcuts.

Who I Am

I’m a 3rd-year Mechatronics Engineering student (currently in 6th semester at TIET), based in Patiala, India. My semester right now covers Microcontroller & Embedded Systems, Signal & Systems, Machine Learning & Image Processing, Automotive Mechatronic Systems, and Industrial Automation.

I’m not a senior engineer. I’m not an “ML expert.” I’m a student who uses these tools in actual coursework and writes about what happens.

That’s the edge. Nobody else is doing exactly this.

What Happened With NotebookLM

Here’s a recent example of how I work.

I was struggling with kinematics and stress analysis problems; genuinely stuck, not just surface-level confused. I loaded my lecture material into Google’s NotebookLM and worked through it over a few sessions.

By the end, I could solve the problems independently. Not just follow along, actually solve them from scratch.

That’s a meaningful result. So I wrote about it.

That’s what you’ll find here: I test something in a real context, form an opinion based on what actually happened, and publish that. Not a sponsored take. Not a summary of a product page.

Before evaliq.io : The Under20s Chapter

At 17, I built a blog called under20s.in – a platform covering young founders and student entrepreneurs in India.

In the first six months: 550,000 sessions. A valuation of $30,000 USD. Secured Inbound acquisition offers. Articles that outranked Forbes India, GQ India, and Mashable for competitive keywords.

I was appreciated by a lot of young founders across the country. Stopped in August 2022 to focus on my degree. No regrets, it taught me more about SEO, content, and audience-building than any course I’ve taken.

EvaliQ.io is what I’m building now. Different niche. Same standards.

Why This Site Exists

When I came back to content in late 2025, the AI tools space was a mess.

Every “review” I found was a listicle pulled from a product page. Half of them had affiliate links but no disclosures. Almost none of them mentioned an actual use case. They were written to rank, not to help.

I wanted a site where someone could read a review and know exactly: who tested this, what they used it for, what went wrong, and whether it’s worth buying on a student budget.

That site didn’t exist for engineers. So I made it.

What I Cover

AI Tools Reviews: scored on five criteria: Ease of Use, Performance & Accuracy, Price-to-Value, Learning Curve, and Engineering Specific Usefulness. Every score out of 10, with reasoning.

Automation & No-Code: n8n, Make.com, Zapier. I’m learning these tools at the same pace most of my readers are. You get the honest intermediate perspective, not a polished tutorial from someone who’s been doing this for five years.

Engineering Software: free MATLAB alternatives, CAD tools, simulation software. Everything tested on a student budget, because that’s the budget I’m actually on.

AI for Students: how to use AI tools in coursework without compromising your own learning. That NotebookLM experience above? That’s the type of thing I write about here.

My Promise

1. I won’t publish a review of a tool I haven’t personally opened and used for a real task.
2. Every article with an affiliate link has a disclosure at the top — not buried in the footer.
3. If I get something wrong, I’ll correct it and timestamp the update. Tell me: hello@evaliq.io
4. I’ll never claim social proof I don’t have. No fake subscriber counts. No invented testimonials.
