i make computers do things. sometimes physical things too.
20, from Kerala.
I like building things close to the boundary between software and hardware.
AI, systems, electronics, EDA, embedded stuff, compilers, computer vision,
reverse engineering, and occasionally a completely unrelated rabbit hole at 3 AM.
I don't really have a preferred layer of the stack.
an AI-first PCB and schematic editor I'm building in Rust.
It's basically the result of me looking at existing EDA software and thinking
"surely this can be different" for slightly too long.
my software and R&D studio.
software, AI, electronics, prototypes, experiments, and projects that somehow
outgrow the folder named test/.
rust · python · go · c++ · typescript · kotlin
tauri · next.js · react native · nestjs

[02:41] idea sounded easy
[02:43] new repository created
[03:17] discovered obscure research paper
[03:49] scope no longer recognizable
[04:12] bought unnecessary electronic component
[04:38] datasheet says "reserved"
[04:39] used it anyway
[05:02] somehow works
[05:03] concerned
