Hello Friend πŸ‘‹

I'm a versatile programmer and full-stack dev with a deep interest in zkML, cryptography, systems, and security. Outside of programming, I enjoy playing chess, music, and researching abstract concepts in tech, security, and biohacking.

My Tech Timeline (a.k.a. how I got here)
  • Back in grade 4, I used the internet on a Nokia phone to download games that ran on launchers like Ubisoft, Java, etc etc.
  • By 10th grade, I got into custom ROMs and tinkering with android OS which i got from my uncle and some direction by one of my friend.
  • Got my own new device in grade 11, where I explored games via OBB files and binged documentaries, thriller reddit stories and conspiracy theories β†’ including 3blue1brown’s videos on Bitcoin.
  • Learned some theoretical hacking concepts but didn’t dive deep into practical hacking and eventually i forgot happened.
  • Mostly spent time playing games to climb local leaderboards in Clash Royale or qualify for esport stuff, explored conspiracy theories, and studying biohacking and vital signs through journals and research papers and deleted all of the games and time consuming aspects of life like sns before 2nd year of college but it was boring and i got into chess again.
  • Got my laptop in final year of college, did some DSA (~30 questions), then shifted focus to playing with VirtualBox OSes and web3, also learnt django full stack for the final year project and experimented with basic Android app development (UI).
  • Learnt blockend web3 development via various sources inclusive of patrick collins, build space, learnweb3dao, etc etc.
  • Started distro-hopping: stable with MX Linux XFCE β†’ moved to Void Linux with Sway WM for 4 months β†’ then switched to Arch Linux, daily driving it with Hyprland 🐧 ever since.
  • Participat - ed/ing and in multiple hackathons
  • Worked a full-time job with a combined 5.5-hour commute for low wages but gained valuable real-world experience wearing multiple hats, architecting systems, automating tasks via scripts and cronjobs, full-stack development, managing PostgreSQL and ubuntu servers, and much more.
  • Switched organizations and ended up doing full-stack Next.js development, the company relocated and ... honestly, still figuring out what’s happening.
  • Recently installed lineageos and yaap os on nothing 2a and back to stock firmware due to some features and convenience.
  • Planning to revisit DSA topics I skipped β€” like tries, graphs, and more β€” while building actively in Web2/Web3 for the next couple of months, before diving deeper into systems and security.
  • Will also be writing stories on this site like Linux installation, Stablecoins, USDC Multichain Architecture, and more.
  • Life is... running

🧭 Core

  • pride higher than heavens, but what if it doesn't exist :)
  • Seeks truth over ignorance.
  • Values freedom: financial, physical, mental.
  • Cautious of "absolute truths" β†’ wary of illusions.
  • Interests: programming, music, biohacking and much more

πŸ›  Upcoming

  • Reinstalling and customizing Arch Linux after the ethglobal hackathon β€” will document my full setup in blog or git config or might just use omarchy.
  • Guide on managing multiple Git accounts (personal & work) using SSH and Git config.
  • Technical write-ups on stablecoins, cross-chain bridging, and decentralized finance mechanisms.
