Built a password manager in Kotlin. Now learning backend with Go — microservices, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform. Always somewhere deep in an AI rabbit hole.
2nd year CS student (AI/ML specialization) based in India. I like building things close to the metal — CLIs, TUIs, and tools with real utility. Currently diving into machine learning fundamentals alongside systems programming and language internals. Previously freelanced building automation systems for clients. Open to internships and collaborations.
TQI — Teacher Quality Index
A merit-based professor review platform built in 24 hours at a university hackathon. Solves the credibility problem of platforms like RateMyProfessor by verifying students via marksheet upload and SGPA gating before they can submit structured reviews. Multi-university architecture with RBAC, anonymous submissions, and median-based scoring.
Klock
A local-first, terminal-based password manager written in Kotlin. It encrypts vaults with AES-256-GCM and Argon2id key derivation. This was my deep dive into a part of software engineering I hadn’t explored before: building interactive terminal UIs and CLIs from scratch. Along the way, I debugged cross-platform clipboard handling between X11’s ownership model and Windows’ persistent clipboard. I tracked down encoding inconsistencies across WSL, PowerShell, and Git Bash. I designed a rebindable-keybind system with conflict detection. I also got GraalVM native-image to work with reflection-heavy dependencies, allowing me to create real binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows.
Cardiovascular Disease Detection
Independent ML research project exploring early CVD detection. Written up as a self-directed research paper.
DesktopThing
A Windows desktop widget for Spotify inspired by the Car Thing. Hovers on your desktop for playback control without switching windows. From this project I learned about DRM and how content on the web is secured from theft. This project taught me the basics of Desktop Development and Real-time state management.
Console Adventures
A console RPG game built while learning TypeScript. Turn-based, runs entirely in the terminal. This was one of my first projects that I publicly posted on GitHub and it gave me the confidence to make more projects that I can publicly share with others.
Freelance Bots & Automation
Various automation and bot systems built for private clients. Proficient use of TypeScript and Discord.js across multiple production deployments.
