I build software across the entire stack — from VPU firmware and cycle-accurate emulators to ML model deployment and 3D web experiences.
I'm a software engineer who gets equally excited by bare-metal firmware and polished web experiences. My work runs the full vertical — from the silicon (VPU firmware, cycle-accurate emulation, RTOS) up to the pixel (real-time 3D, ML model serving, full-stack apps). I care about the whole stack because the interesting problems live at the seams between layers.
Cycle-accurate Game Boy Advance emulator core in C++20, targeting an ESP32-S3 handheld. Hand-written ARM7TDMI CPU, PPU, and DMA — 8 of 13 hardware test suites passing on bare metal.
Reverse-engineered Steinberg VB-1 bass synth VST, rebuilt in C++17/JUCE. Ghidra decompile + headless A/B harness against the original binary — verified bit-accurate to −109dB across the full parameter space.
A full-stack IoT product spanning bare metal to cloud: a BLE haptic wearable (nRF52832/Zephyr RTOS) + iOS/Android clients (Compose Multiplatform) + a Cloudflare Worker backend. End-to-end encrypted with a zero-plaintext server — the server literally cannot read your messages.
Making the 4,000-year-old Vedas accessible. A 3D interactive wheel (Three.js) serving all 10 Mandals with flashcards, video, audio, and translations — entirely manifest-driven.
Self-hosted CAD platform: Next.js + Docker + PostgreSQL + Redis + MinIO. 3D model visualization and DXF processing behind a 5-container production stack.
Real-time lunar phase visualization with Three.js and NASA LROC textures. Phase-accurate terminator computed client-side for any date — a full 3D moon, no server round-trip.
AI image analysis with Mistral AI that generates structured metadata for 64+ carpentry project photos — materials, joinery techniques, and craftsmanship scoring in a single pass.
Full chess engine with Stockfish AI (depth 5–20), PvP/AI/AI-vs-AI modes, Web Worker architecture, FEN save/load.
RP2040 USB HID device in C — debounce FSM, TinyUSB descriptors, cross-platform Unicode entry.
Self-contained Sudoku solver — backtracking algorithm, keyboard navigation, zero dependencies.
ESP32 firmware for RFID-based FASTag parking — WiFi polling, JSON parsing, cloud API integration.
Custom VideoCore IV VPU firmware adding true suspend-to-RAM to the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W — a feature the stock platform lacks. Drives SDRAM into self-refresh and resumes from a saved wake vector.
A browser-based 3D sandbox: procedural terrain, hand-written GLSL sky and water shaders, biome blending, and bloom post-FX. Three.js + Vite, real-time framerates.
Delhi Metro A* route planner: React 19 + Vite + Leaflet + a Python GTFS pipeline. 262 stations across 11 lines, with a Dijkstra-vs-A* benchmark.
Reverse-engineered the ASUS ROG Ally joystick RGB protocol over USB HID. Kills the charging strobe and persists in MCU flash — bypassing Armoury Crate entirely.
A production-grade Docker Compose Minecraft server: Velocity proxy + Geyser/Floodgate cross-play + a whitelist manager. Java + Go components, one-command deploy.
A browser-based generator for custom-sized IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard DXF files. TypeScript + React 19 + Vite, deployed on Cloudflare Pages — export straight to the laser cutter.
An audio-reactive polygon slicer: PixiJS + GSAP + the Web Audio API. Beat detection drives a recursive zoom through a 7-step rainbow blade cycle, deployed live.
Can Postgres replace your entire stack? Benchmarks PG16 vs MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch, ChromaDB, and TimescaleDB across 10 categories with a rigorous methodology.
