NiMD | Developer & Tinkerer

Developer, Tinkerer, & Tech Enthusiast based in Kerala.

I'm a tinkerer at heart. I spend most of my time balancing academic life with my passion for technology, diving deep into the worlds of networking, self-hosting, and building interesting projects.

I love managing servers and contributing to the open-source community whenever I can. I love the philosophy of building and contributing tools that are fast, privacy-first, and useful for the community.

I write when something clicks or when I need to think out loud. Side Quests is where I dump running notes and experiments. I also wrote about building my own curriculum as a freshman, and put out a thread on staying calibrated as a generalist in fast-paced environments.

Also, my well curated Spotify playlist.

Projects

Things I built, mostly in my first year of college. I tend to go deep on one idea until it either works or teaches me something.

Petals New Tab-Architected a lightning-fast, highly customizable, and privacy-first browser new tab experience tailored for modern, seamless workflows.

Supersearcher-Engineered an advanced search query builder featuring automated OSINT templates, domain reconnaissance tools, and comprehensive multi-engine support.

Tynim URL Shortener-Architected a highly efficient, self-hostable, single-file URL shortener backend deployed entirely on Cloudflare Workers edge network.

I also built path tracers, inference runtimes, quantization libraries, syscall tracers, GEMM kernels, distraction blockers, and pixel editors - all on GitHub. The most used by strangers on the internet is, unexpectedly, yars - a Reddit scraper.
