about

p.1

I build systems where the structure is the point.

I build systems where the structure is the point — knowledge graphs with tens of thousands of nodes, dependency trees you can trace a compromise through, terminal tools that stay out of the way. Most of my work sits between a database and an interface, making large, tangled data navigable.

Currently a full-stack engineer at Chandigarh University's Lucknow campus, working on CMS architecture and a Neo4j knowledge graph over 20,000+ publications and patents. Before that I shipped a cross-platform desktop product at Notely on Electron and a microservices backend. On the side I write Rust CLIs and read a lot of lockfiles.

currently

  • Building a Neo4j knowledge graph over 20,000+ publications and patents at CU Lucknow.
  • Writing Terrek — a Rust TUI workflow engine — on the side.
  • Reading a lot of lockfiles for ChainTrace.
  • Grinding Codeforces back toward Candidate Master.

Backend, systems, and real-time work. Tap ⤢ to spread these out.

TRust CLI / TUI

Terrek

2026
Rust CLI / TUI

A terminal-native workflow engine. One pluggable abstraction over OpenAI, Gemini, Claude and Ollama with bring-your-own-key auto-detection, a multi-pane Ratatui interface, and an extensible command system for scripting AI tasks.

CSupply-chain security

ChainTrace

2026
Supply-chain security

Maps npm and PyPI packages, versions and maintainers into a graph (HydraDB / OpenCypher), then answers the incident question: a package just turned malicious — which of my services are hit, how badly, and through what path. Blast-radius BFS, attack-path search, typosquat detection.

LDesktop-context AI assistant

localhost6767

2025
Desktop-context AI assistant

The backend for a desktop overlay assistant: it watches the active window and clipboard, collects and ranks on-screen context, resolves intent, and answers through OpenAI with a persistent memory layer — streamed over WebSockets.

FReal-time crowd-flow CV

FlowGuard

2026
Real-time crowd-flow CVDesktop view only

Turns CCTV video into crowd-flow intelligence — density, direction, congestion and counter-flow anomalies — to flag crowd-crush conditions before they build, instead of just counting heads. Operator console over a computer-vision pipeline.

  • TypeScript
  • Computer Vision
  • Next.js
PVCWebRTC / STUN

P2P Video Conferencing

2025
WebRTC / STUN

A video-conferencing app built to learn WebRTC from the wire up: a signaling server, STUN traversal, and direct peer connections carrying the media — no SFU or media server in the path.

  • TypeScript
  • WebRTC
  • STUN
  • WebSockets
VDeploy platform, from scratch

Vercel-in-a-box

2025
Deploy platform, from scratch

What a deploy platform does under the hood, rebuilt as three services — an upload service, a build/deploy worker, and a request handler that routes each request to the right build — wired with Redis, AWS and S3.

  • TypeScript
  • Redis
  • AWS
  • S3
CReal-time shared canvas

CollabDrawShare

2025
Real-time shared canvas

A Turborepo monorepo: authenticated real-time drawing over WebSockets with Postgres/Prisma persistence — front end, back end and shared packages in one graph, containerised with Docker.

  • TypeScript
  • Turborepo
  • Canvas
  • WebSockets

TReal-time issue board

Thirteenello

2025
Real-time issue board

A collaborative kanban board where every client stays in sync through a single WebSocket server broadcasting issue moves. Built on Bun, no database — the board state lives in memory.

  • TypeScript
  • WebSockets
NDecentralized NFT marketplace

NEAW

2025
Decentralized NFT marketplace

A fully on-chain NFT marketplace on Solana with IPFS/Pinata storage, Ceramic profiles and multi-wallet support — minting, listing and trading with no central backend holding the data.

  • Solana web3.js
  • IPFS
  • Ceramic
