Tejasvi Manoj
Builder of Shield Seniors Website
Tejasvi Manoj is a young technologist who built Shield Seniors, a website and educational platform designed to protect elderly individuals from online scams and fraud. The project addresses a growing problem as seniors increasingly use digital technologies but remain disproportionately targeted by cybercriminals.
Shield Seniors provides resources, guides, and tools to help older adults recognize and avoid common online scams, including phishing emails, romance scams, tech support fraud, and identity theft. Manoj developed the platform while still a student, demonstrating remarkable initiative in applying technology to solve a real social problem.
Her work highlights the importance of digital literacy for vulnerable populations and shows how young technologists can use their skills to make meaningful social impact.
