Hi there, and welcome :)
I'm primarily a UX developer, big-time JavaScripter, small-time designer and a full-time student @ IIIT Delhi.
✨ Featured Projects
2048.cpp
🎮 A fully-featured terminal version of the popular game "2048" written in C++

Originally developed for my 12th grade course project, the game gained traction on Reddit and Hacker News. It was featured on GitHub's Twitter and Facebook accounts as well, thereby becoming popular overnight.

✨ Browser extension: Hacker News, but refined — Interface tweaks and features to make the HN experience better

This browser extension adds much-needed features, and tweaks a few stuff on Hacker News to make the browsing experience better... without changing the look and feel. The minimalist and raw design of the site is sacrosanct and should remain intact!

This project was one of my first attempts at creating a CLI tool and an npm package. It drasctically improved my understanding of Node.js and more abstractly, the opensource culture.

🎒 The official website of Sanskriti School, New Delhi

In late 2017 I was tasked with making my school a new website, solo. It was the first time I was handling a project of such scale – the development of which featured extensive cross-browser and cross-device testing, multiple revisions and beta-testers to ensure a uniform and accessible experience to all thirty-thousand of its monthly visitors.
All in all, the entire project took almost a year to finish, primarily due to my engagements with grade 12 studies and competitive examination preparations. The website was finally pushed to production in July of 2018.

❤️ Mircoservice for serving and listing "Made with love in <country-name>" badges
Inspired by the Made With Love in India Campaign, and driven by the urge to publish something on ZEIT's Now platform to understand what serverless deployments were all about, I created a microservice to serve SVG "Made with ♥️ in <country-name>" badges for developers to show off their and their project's country of origin.
