About Me

once, a 22-year-old kid decided he wanted to understand how things break. not to break them for bad, but to learn how to fix them even better.

welcome to my portfolio site, let me explain what i mean

i needed something better than the world's fastest websites. so using agents, tooling and rapid benchmarking, i managed to generate a website that's ultra-light, super-fast, well-optimised and also act as my portfolio for my engineering skills. now this loads in the same http request as the html itself.

i constantly benchmark against them. checking seo, a eo, cdn latency from 6 cloudflare regions. every commit is a race.

my philosophy is simple: don't tell me your title, show me your work.

~ chapter 1: the breaking

it started with curiosity. I found my first industry internship upon breaking into a startup's admin panel. The founder was very kind to let me intern for them and find, report and fix more bugs in their products.

i went on to work for another company where I began building hackable environments for a consultancy firm which sold to reputed clients like OffSec and HackTheBox. I got exposure to analysing CVEs and 0days, packaging them into VMs and testing them on infra like Proxmox.

~ chapter 2: the building

sleeping is boring, you'll see me invested in some research paper, some article about how certain blood alcohol levels can increase your productivity, or writing code, and marketing the heck out of my projects everywhere i have an account on.

i ship almost every 4-5 days a week on my github. almost everything i make is either an experiement, made from very niche technologies (for the love of it), or to prove a point that this can be done. that's my philosophy for personal projects

i make everything from agentic skills, dApps to malware. my motivations and inspirations arise from X majorly and my github feed. (presently i have 220+ github followers)

~ chapter 3: the leading

after internships, (and in-between) i started working on contracts and exploring freelance work while growing a network of student chapters on my campus and influencing a culture of shared knowledge and respect in the tech domain.

i founded google developer groups at my campus. grew from zero to 1100 members in 9 months.

i lead next tech lab. a qs reimagine education awarded student society running since 2017.

i am also an advisor for foss united, aws cloud club, and hackshastra.

~ chapter 4: the proving

i'm always open to calls book one here. i love discussing about anime, tech and coffee (typical nerd you'd say but i'm okay with that). i believe i still don't know lots of things but i love to share what i do know.
