who is this?

I ask myself the same thing. If you do too, maybe we can be existential-dread buddies.

Most of my experience is building for the Web. I have done full-stack development, DevOps, built stuff with WebGL/GPU, and even tried to roll my own express.js (written in C). But at the end, I feel like there's a beauty in raw-dogging vanilla HTML/CSS/JS. It's somewhat of a lost art-form.

I love graphics programming, procedural generation, and building simulations and games. I have somewhat of a romantic obsession with graphics APIs, even after spending days debugging GLSL. I built my own rendering library for one of my web projects. And of course, I have tried (multiple times) to build my own Minecraft.

I love to hate C++ even though it's the language of choice for most of my projects. Same goes for JavaScript. However, JavaScript was designed to be crap. I think we all should just switch to Lisp.

Currently studying maths and computing at IIT Guwahati, class of ‘29. Also I love cats.

some cool projects :)
