Tech meets soul

Final-year student at IIT Kharagpur with a deep passion for programming, open-source, and creative technology. I love building tools that sit at the intersection of code, art, and usability; from kernel-level systems to game engines and generative art. As a Linux power user and contributor to open-source projects, I enjoy diving deep into low-level systems while also exploring the aesthetic side of tech through audio-visual experiments, UI/UX design, and side projects that blend logic with creativity.
