A from-scratch C++ simulator of an ext2-like file system: block groups, inodes, bitmaps, directory entries, shell commands, and remount-safe persistence — built for deep understanding of OS storage internals.
A fast, local-first Python CLI for managing developer cheat sheets with semantic search, version-aware retrieval, interactive terminal mode, and optional LLM explanations — all private and offline-capable.
Repurposing a 2020 Redmi 8A Dual into a lightweight Termux-based homelab: SSH remote access, secure tunnel-based portfolio serving, file sync, and low-cost systems experimentation on old hardware.
A Go-based distributed vector database prototype with microservices, Raft consensus (Dragonboat), HNSW indexing, sharding, replication, authentication, and benchmarking — built as a major project to understand real distributed retrieval tradeoffs.
A real-time streaming pipeline that ingests live Wikimedia edit events via SSE, publishes to Kafka, and consumes with low-latency monitoring — built to practice distributed streaming reliability, lag tracking, replayability, and burst handling.
A fast, clean, lightweight portfolio rebuilt with Astro and Svelte — minimal JS, content-first, and designed to feel authentically like me as a developer.
A fast, shortcut-based search browser extension inspired by DuckDuckGo bangs, enabling quick site-specific searches directly from the browser’s address bar.
An overview of state-of-the-art Python libraries and models for object detection and image captioning, including YOLO, BLIP, LLVA, Detectron, and more.
A minimal, from-scratch Git clone in C++ focused on clarity, education, and understanding Git internals — with core commands, branching/merging, and an activity analytics suite powered by SQLite.
A fast, secure, single-command file/directory sharing tool in Go — local LAN transfers with token auth, optional temporary Cloudinary cloud links, auto-expiry, and strong privacy/security focus.
