About me

I began my coding journey in 1995, upon receiving my first computer—a gift from my dad. My first programming language was BASIC. I distinctly remember the 'ASP in a Nutshell' book by O'Reilly – my entry point into the world of web development.

As an experienced software engineer, I have engaged in comprehensive development across all layers of the stack, prioritizing the creation of solutions that are both sustainable and enduring. I always find it exciting to share what I know and discuss how to build more robust and intelligent software systems. During my career, I have had the privilege of working globally. This experience has profoundly enriched my cultural insights and technical proficiency.

Besides all this, I enjoy gardening, watching "living off the grid" videos on YouTube, and learning new things.

I developed this blog application primarily to showcase my daughter's artwork. It features an admin section where I've implemented the Quill WYSIWYG editor for creating and editing blog posts.

Christmas Baubles

Developed during the Christmas season of 2022, this project employs JavaScript animations exclusively, rendering visuals entirely through canvas drawings and utilizing some trigonometric formulas.

Easter Eggs

Developed this during Easter as a team building exercise, to find the easter eggs as part of a retrospective meeting. It involved sketching egg shapes using Moss's egg technique within the realm of Euclidean geometry.

Diwali Diyas

I wanted to create diya (earthen lamp) animations during the Diwali festival for the home screen of one of my projects. Although there are numerous GIFs available, I'm particularly interested in animating them using JavaScript.

Raspberry Pi Radio

Instead of buying a radio, I repurposed my Raspberry Pi with a TEA5767 module to build one myself.You can see all the details on my blog page by clicking on the heading link. The page will take a little to load as its hosted on free plan :)

Maze Solver

This web app generates and solves mazes using BFS. Users can draw walls and move the start (green) and end (red) points. While BFS finds the shortest path, it can be slow. I plan to implement A* in the future for improved efficiency.
