About Me :

Hey there! I'm a software engineer , and part time Script kiddie.
I makes da software.
I work with JavaScript and its framework ecosystem (React, Node/Bun)
Started as a frontend Engineer, but now I work on infrastructure and tooling for running compute-heavy workloads at scale , whether it’s orchestrating ML pipelines, optimizing GPU clusters, or automating deployments.
Previously worked on search infra, federated data platforms, and cloud-native deployments across different domains. I like hacking on infra, making things run faster, and simplifying complex systems , whether it’s self-hosting or cloud-native architectures.
I Like to work on interesting problems regardless of the domain.
In my free time, I manage my home lab remotely, experiment with infra setups, and tinker with whatever catches my interest.
I self-host everything—Google Photos(
Built my own dynamic DNS service to update my IP to my domain and a domain whitelister that auto-updates UFW rules for connecting nodes
Big fan of : George Hotz and Andrej karpathy.

I self-host everything—Google Photos(
Immich
), Netflix (Jellyfin
), VPN (WireGuard
), GitHub (Gitea
), and a fully automated torrent stack (Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr
), all secured with my own OAuth setup (Authentik

Projects :
Here are some of my recent projects:
ycportfolio.com | Link
- Built a Chrome extension that turns YC applications into permanent, shareable portfolios with tracked engagement.
- Backend on Cloudflare Workers + D1/R2, with cryptographic URL signing for controlled sharing and rate-limited, error-handled request handling.
- Built a dynamic tracking system that injects JavaScript at runtime to track recruiter engagement across YC application sections, sending real-time viewing data for analysis
- Real-time engagement tracking via intersection observers + visibility APIs, breaking down time spent per section to surface weak points.
- Bypassed Chrome’s cross-origin constraints with strategic extraction + sanitization, ensuring seamless content persistence.
- Self-serve publishing + analytics dashboard, giving founders full control over archiving, tracking, and optimizing their YC apps.
Hostify – Self-Hosted Frontend Deployment | Link
- Built a lightweight, containerized deployment system for frontend projects, automating repo cloning, building with Bun, and deploying to S3-compatible storage.
- Designed a service-based architecture with an API server (Express), build service (Bun), Redis for tracking, and RabbitMQ for job queuing.
- Automated deployment pipeline: repo submission → cloning → building → uploading to S3 → generating a public URL.
- Optimized for self-hosting, avoiding vendor lock-in while maintaining simplicity with Docker + Docker Compose.
- Built monitoring tools: Redis for real-time status tracking, RabbitMQ UI for queue inspection, and logs for debugging.
HomeLab /Self Hosting | Link
- Converted an old ASUS laptop into a remote server, configuring static internal IPs, SSH key-based authentication, and UFW firewall rules for secure access.
- Built a custom Dynamic DNS system using Node.js + DigitalOcean API, automating DNS updates for a changing external IP.
- Engineered a dynamic IP management solution with a jump host architecture, ensuring firewall whitelists remain updated via a closed-loop system.
- Self-hosted key services (WireGuard VPN, Emby, Immich) using Docker + persistent volumes, optimizing for remote access and data retention.
- Implemented full-stack monitoring with ELK (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), tracking system metrics, container health, network traffic, and security events.
Interactive Water Balancing Simulation | Link
- Built a real-time water simulation in React, using useState + useEffect to manage dynamic water distribution across multiple containers.
- Designed an interactive UI with smooth animations and visual feedback, allowing users to fill, empty, and auto-balance water levels.
- Implemented interval-based state updates to handle concurrent water flow calculations while ensuring seamless, reactive behavior.
Spring Mechanics Simulation | Link
- Built a real-time sine wave visualization in React using useState, useEffect, and useRef for precise state management.
- Implemented HTML5 Canvas rendering for smooth, dynamic wave animations with advanced DOM manipulation.
- Designed a physics-based spring oscillation system with drag-and-drop functionality, allowing real-time recalculations of wave properties.
CrowRedis (in-memory Data store) | Blog-1 | Blog-2
- A simple in-memory datastore like Redis to learn how it works internally and how databases are built.
- Custom Client for the server to communicate via sockets.
Basic Operations(Set GET DEL)
,Data Persistence(snapshots
,AOF
) ,Data Replication
,TTL
etc.
Kanban Board | Blog | Link
- Draggable items: Users can drag elements with the class
task
.
- Droppable areas: These are defined by elements with the class
swim-lane
.
- Visual feedback: When an item is being dragged, it receives visual feedback by adding the class
is-dragging
.
- Dynamic positioning: When dropping an item, it is placed above the nearest item in the drop area.
- Draggable items: Users can drag elements with the class
Tic Tac Toe | Link
- Interactive gameplay: Players can click on the grid to place their marks (X or 0).
- State management: Utilizes React's
useState
hook to manage the game state and turn logic.
- Winner detection: Implements functions to check rows, columns, and diagonals for a winner.
- Visual feedback: Provides real-time updates on the game board with alerts for the winner.
Precision Video Editor | Link
- Video control: Users can play, pause, and seek through a video with a
custom slider
.

- Precision adjustment: Offers precise control over video playback time in seconds.
- Real-time updates: Displays current video time and updates as the video plays.
- Metadata handling: Loads and displays video metadata, such as duration, when the video is loaded.
- Video control: Users can play, pause, and seek through a video with a

Implementation of how pagination works.
maCrow( A macro Recorder) | Blog
- A clean macro recorder to record your keyboard and mouse inputs , save them and replay whenever you want.
- Record: Capture mouse movements, left or right clicks, scrolls , hold & drag , double clicks, and keyboard inputs with multiple key press combo(hotkeys).
