## About

I'm 25 years old, currently building [Crossroads](https://crossroads.sh/).

Past [Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/archive/2020/projects/6311694998962176/) participant where I worked with CERN on the [Large Hadron Collider](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALICE_experiment).

I have a bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering from [DTU](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delhi_Technological_University).

### Among other things, I'm also:

- A B2-level French speaker
- An amateur [astrophotography enthusiast](/blog/tibet/)
- The creator of \#f1 on [Libera.Chat](https://libera.chat/)
- A maintainer of [OpenClaw](https://github.com/openclaw/openclaw)

## Interests

- Software engineering with focus on scalability, efficiency and availability.
- Chasing millisecond improvements and reading an unhealthy amount of [flamegraphs.](https://www.brendangregg.com/flamegraphs.html)
- Tinkering with embedded systems and automating [*everything*](/blog/the-piquarium-project/).
- Mildly obsessed with aircrafts. I built a DIY [plane spotter](/blog/pilane-spotting/) using YOLO.
- Nerding out over mechanical [keyboards](https://imgur.com/a/28bdGEd) & [watches](https://gallery.obviy.us/image/com-okkr-lsb/).

## Projects

I write most of my code in TypeScript, Python, Go, and Rust (with occasional Lisp). Here are some highlights:

- [playtime-panorama](https://github.com/obviyus/playtime-panorama) — Generate a dense, responsive collage of your Steam library where each game's header image is sized proportionally to your playtime. (TypeScript)
- [chanson.live](https://github.com/obviyus/chanson.live) — An ultra low-latency radio built on WebRTC. Imperceptible de-sync for two devices on different networks. (WebRTC)
- [Pilane Spotting](https://pilane.obviy.us) — A DIY plane-spotting system using YOLO and an old Android phone to identify aircraft flying overhead. (Python)
- [pong](https://github.com/obviyus/pong) — A TUI app to continuously ping all AWS regions and display latencies. (Zig)
- [SuperSeriousBot](https://github.com/obviyus/SuperSeriousBot) — A Telegram bot serving 5,000+ users with APIs and chat management features. (Python)

- **Homelab** — Raspberry Pi's, a VPS, and my old workstation connected via Tailscale. (Nomad + Consul)
