Built because
the tool didn’t exist.

Five projects I use myself, plus the ones that started as a favour for a friend or a community. Every link goes somewhere real.

Go / CLI + TUI / 2026

ditch-windows

Pack up Windows. Put it back. One encrypted backup rebuilds a Windows 11 machine: apps, Wi-Fi, fonts, theme, default apps, and personal folders. It previews every restore; nothing writes without --apply.

TypeScript / Next.js / 2026

srigurugranthsahib

A verse-by-verse reader for the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji and the Nitnem Banis. Translations in four languages, word-by-word meanings, the daily Hukamnama, and reading plans. Built as sewa.

Go / desktop / MIT

spank-for-windows

A Windows-native port of taigrr/spank. The microphone listens for a short impact; Go and Fyne do the yelling. Three modes, a sensitivity slider, and one executable.

TypeScript / React + SQLite

sticker-brains

Mini brain teasers unlock meme stickers. A beginner-friendly React and TypeScript app with an Express and SQLite backend.

cat about.txt

Serious about
shipping. Still
a newbie at heart.

I learn by building the thing, breaking it, and then reading the manual. Most of that happens in public, on GitHub.

Sophomore CSE Undergraduate - MSEC | BS Data Science & Applications (Foundational Level) - IITM | FOSS/Linux Enthusiast | Student Developer

I study CSE at MSEC and pursue the IITM BS in Data Science & Applications (Foundational Level). Most of what I know comes from open source: reading other people’s code, opening pull requests, and shipping small tools until they hold up.

I care about FOSS and Linux, strong data structures and algorithms in C++, and a technical career in public service.

now: Technical Consultant at Upfinity / contributor to FOSS United Chennai.

Have a problem worth solving?

I’m looking for internships and collaborations where I can learn fast and ship something useful. If you’re building in the open, even better.
