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. Every design starts in Figma before becoming code. Game development is another interest; I build games using Unity, Unreal, and Godot. I also work with electronics, soldering, circuit design, building mains-powered IoT devices that integrate with Home Assistant, and occasionally make friends with 230V AC. I also design and manufacture custom parts using 3D printing.

My homelab runs Proxmox with TrueNAS across 16TB of total storage with ZFS RAIDZ2. Among the services it runs are Immich, Bitwarden, GitLab, Grafana, Pi-hole, Technitium DNS. 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.

Arch Linux is my daily operating system. Everything I rely on is open source. I also love to play video games; they are what got me into the rabbit hole of programming: 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 personal website runs on a 2-node Kubernetes cluster with Caddy as the reverse proxy, deployed using FluxCD and custom CI/CD scripts.
