Open to founding engineer roles at early-stage teams.
| Project | What it is |
|---|---|
| Baby UI · site | Animated, accessible components for React and Svelte. One spec, two hand-written ports, installed with the shadcn CLI as source you own. My portfolio runs on it. |
| Recast · site | An agentic screen recorder and editor: real cursor smoothing, automatic zoom, Rust and FFmpeg under a Tauri app. |
| GlyphTeX · site | The LaTeX editor Overleaf should have been. The engine runs as WebAssembly in your browser, so your papers never leave your machine. |
| Docvia · site | A framework-agnostic documentation engine. Parse markdown once, then render it with React, Svelte or anything else. |
| Orbit · site | A free, offline PDF toolkit that runs on your device with WASM. Merge, split and compress without uploading a thing. |
| College Ecosystem · site | An open-source platform for NIT Hamirpur: results and rankings, campus tools, polls and communities. 1.8M+ visits. |
