software engineer
class of 2027
I'm mostly just a kid with a Mac and an IDE, building whatever seems fun enough to keep me up at night.
I don't tie myself to one stack; I'll reach for whatever open-source framework or language gets the idea shipped. I usually end up cycling through TypeScript, Python, Rust, and Go.
At the end of the day, I build for the joy of making software and watching real people use it.
Seeing Aeris hit the front page of Hacker News was surreal. Deetnuts keeps handling waves of student traffic, and I'm hoping edbn/ui finds its people too.
Attending FOSS Hack '23, '24, '25, '26, and FOSS United Pune sparked my open source journey.
It inspired projects like deetnuts.com, btechtards.deetnuts.com, Aeris, and pen.
I like owning products end to end: designing the UI, writing APIs, setting up queues, and pushing background workers until they can wrangle massive datasets without falling over. I briefly tried pitching investors and raising venture capital, then walked away from it.
My timeline keeps convincing me that the indie developer route is the dream anyway.
When I'm not doing all of that, I'm probably listening to an album front to back. You can see the current rotation over in the misc tab.
Also moderate r/Btechtards and r/mht_cet.
