Frautect mobile app
Android security app that finds fake and cloned apps, monitors the phone in the background and warns users instantly.- Scans every installed app and flags fake, cloned and re-signed apps by checking each app’s installer and signing certificate against Frautect’s threat database.
- Background Monitoring: a native Android foreground service that warns the moment a risky app is installed or updated, and watches for device risks such as USB debugging, new accessibility services or device admins, proxies and open Wi-Fi. It restarts after a reboot.
- Instant full-screen warnings over other apps, with one-tap uninstall of a flagged app.
- Scam reports with screenshots, verification of shared links, and Wi-Fi and fake-GPS checks.
- A first-run consent flow in English and Hindi, built to meet Google Play’s user-data policy, with consent you can withdraw in settings.
- Sign-in with Google or an email code; Kotlin native modules alongside React Native and Expo.
- Beyond the app: internal brand-protection tools that help the team spot impersonation and scam activity across social media and messaging platforms, so threats are caught sooner than manual checks allow.

About
I’m Utkarsh Dixit, a software developer based in Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh. I studied computer science at Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University in Lucknow, graduating in 2024, and I’ve been shipping production code since my first internship.
I like the whole stack: a database schema that holds up, an API that doesn’t fall over when two people click at once, and an interface people understand without a manual. Most of my recent work sits where security meets everyday users, spotting fraud, fake accounts and risky apps.
Outside work I solve algorithm problems. I’m past 800 on LeetCode.
