I {build} software. I (automate) server infrastructure. I [architect] global governance. My goal is making better systems for the Human race.

About Me

I'm a 17-year-old Full Stack Developer. Federationist. Designer. Maker. Based in Bengaluru, coding since age 10. I build Websites, APIs, Android apps, .NET software, AI products, and whatever else needs building. I design in Figma and implement what I design. I also work across Unity, Unreal, and Godot for game development. I also work with electronics, soldering, circuit design, and connecting sensors directly to mains AC and integrating them into Home Assistant. And 3D printing: mostly functional parts I've designed to make daily life easier.

I also run a homelab: Proxmox hosting TrueNAS across 16TB of total storage with ZFS RAIDZ2. Some of the services it runs: Immich, Bitwarden, GitLab, Grafana, Pi-hole, Technitium DNS. And I use Tailscale so I can reach everything remotely, without port forwarding.

I study governance, track current affairs, and think about rights and law. I'm a citizen of Earth before anything else. The nation-state system was never built for the problems we face today. The United Federation of Earth is what I'm building to replace it: a world government to eventually replace nation-states. It has a quadricameral (four-chamber) legislature, branches that can check and remove each other, anti-corruption in the architecture itself, and things most governments still treat as negotiable: same and equal rights for every human on Earth, free healthcare, free public transport all guaranteed in the constitution itself.

I use Arch Linux as my OS. Everything I rely on is open source. I also love to play video games; they are what got me into the rabbit hole of coding: Counter-Strike 2, Minecraft, Terraria, Hytale, and indie games in general. I constantly try new games, but those are what I always return to.

This portfolio website runs on a 2-node Kubernetes cluster with Caddy as the reverse proxy, deployed using FluxCD and custom CI/CD scripts.
