Microblog

Welcome to my microblog. I use it to collect short-form notes, snippets and media.

Waypoint

I had 4 hours to kill at New York before I headed back to Boston. I had been wanting to give convex.dev a try after hearing good things about it. Hence, I went to a cafe, asked a stranger for a project idea and locked in. Result was Waypoint — a real-time travel social network for sharing journey moments. Try it out at waypoint-social.vercel.app

Quadly 🌱

What if campus friendships grew like real gardens? Working on Quadly—an app to help grad students make authentic connections based on shared interests. Tiny nudges, big meaning.

CALENDAR APP: FROM SWING TO SOLID

I had always hated Java, mostly because I felt it was too hard. However, I ended up actually liking it after creating a fully-featured and tested calendar application using Java Swing. This project made me appreciate good architecture. Possibly one of my most well-designed, and tested projects.

FAILURE ≠ FRAUD

Impostor syndrome doesn’t mean you’re a fraud. It just means you’re growing. Real frauds don’t worry about falling short. Learners do.

START BEFORE YOU FEEL READY

Most things I’ve done well—first PRs, public speaking, even grad school—started before I *felt* ready. Don’t wait to be confident. Just begin, and let experience catch up.

OPEN SOURCE IS A MIRROR

In open source, you don’t just learn code. You learn who you are when no one's assigning you work. It's accountability, service, and growth rolled into one. Highly recommend contributing even once.

UNCONFERENCE ENERGY ⚡️

Hosted an unconference session at KubeCon India Contributor Summit. No slides. Just deep conversation, shared challenges, and ‘aha!’ moments. More of this, please.

GITCHAT 🚀

Built GitChat—an AI-powered way to query your GitHub profile with natural language. From 'What are my top 5 repos?' to 'When did I first contribute to Kubernetes?' Check it out at git-hub-profile-chat.vercel.app 🔍
