I build self-hosted tools, embedded hardware, and AI-integrated apps — mostly because I can, sometimes because I should.

About me

I'm a Grade 11 CBSE student from Chennai, India who spends an unhealthy amount of time turning wild ideas into real, working software and hardware.

My philosophy: if it can be self-hosted, it will be. I build AI chat agents, terminal shells, Arduino macropads, loop pedals, network monitors, and things that probably shouldn't exist — but do.

I think in systems — inputs, outputs, constraints — and I ship fast. Every project starts as a README and ends as something you can actually run.

02 / projects

What I have done so far:

All self-hosted, most pushed at 2am, every one born from a specific itch to scratch.

03 / music

Im into music too:

Beats, instrumentals, and ideas that start on a keyboard and end somewhere unexpected.
