I probably have too many tabs open right now.

I like building things that start as questionable ideas and somehow end up three weeks later than planned.

Full-stack developer.

AI/ML student.

MERN, Next.js, TypeScript — held together with REST APIs.

Professional overthinker. Somehow still ships code.

Things I Build

Roughly in order of how often I claim to be an expert in them.

01

Full Stack

The part I'd put on a resume.

Next.js.React.TypeScript.Node.Express.REST APIs.
02

AI / ML

The part I'm still actively wrong about.

B.Tech in AI & ML.AI-powered features.Still a student of it.
03

Whatever seems interesting

The part that consumes the most time.

Side projects, experiments, questionable ideas, and things I probably could have just left alone.

Work I’m notembarrassed of.

Started simple. Obviously.

Two projects. Both finished enough to show, neither finished enough to stop touching.

QUICKNOTES

I kept losing notes, so I built an app to lose them more efficiently. A local-first Android notes app with fast search, folders, tags, reminders, attachments, and offline backups.

“v1.0 shipped. Naturally, I immediately started changing it.”

MANGAPLATFORM

I wanted a manga platform, so naturally I decided building one was easier than finding one.

“Currently in beta. Please report bugs before I convince myself they're features.”

I Use

The stuff between an empty repository and something that actually runs in production.

Every logo here represents at least one evening I'd describe as character-building.

Where I’ve Been

A tidy timeline for a sequence of events that was not tidy.

2026July 13 — Present

Full Stack Development Intern

Digital India Corporation

Built and shipped features across Next.js, TypeScript and REST APIs, connected WordPress content and CDN assets to the frontend, and kept CI/CD pipelines green. Also submitted enough pull requests to become a recurring character in my mentor's GitHub notifications.

Still ongoing, so this entry keeps getting longer.

2023–27

B.Tech, Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

GGSIPU — University School of Automation & Robotics

Currently in progress. Ask me again in 2027.

Two years in. The syllabus and I have reached an understanding.

2021–23

Senior Secondary (Class XI - XII)

Kendriya Vidyalaya Andrews Ganj, New Delhi

Spent years learning things I was told I'd definitely use later. The 'later' is taking its time.

Retroactively useful, in ways nobody warned me about.

Currently

Four fields. Three of them are excuses.

Building

something that started as a five-minute idea and is now a lifestyle choice

Learning

something I absolutely could have learned the normal way

Watching

one more episode. this time I'm definitely stopping.

Status

the bug is reproducible. my understanding of it isn't.

Accurate as of whenever I last remembered to update this.

Alright.
Your turn.

Got a project? An idea? A suspiciously ambitious side project?

Fill in three fields. I'll do the overthinking from here.

Yes, I actually read these. Usually.
