04 / ME

curious. ambitious. relentless.

I'm a CS student in Bhopal who can't leave things alone. If I use something, I want to know how it works underneath — and then I want to build my own version of it, usually worse at first, usually finished eventually. Somewhere in that loop I turned into a backend and AI person.

01
I open the box

Not "what is a tokenizer" — who assigns the IDs, and why does that vector mean anything.

02
I need it to be real

An idea isn't finished until it has a URL and someone other than me has broken it.

03
bigger systems, please

Queues, agents, pub/sub, state machines. More moving parts is more interesting, not less.

04
I want to be exceptional

Not comfortable. Competitive about it in a way I'm slowly learning to point at work instead of people.

THE PART I'D RATHER NOT WRITE

I'm competitive, and I compare myself to people constantly. I overthink. I start more than I finish, and "one more idea" has cost me more weekends than I'd like. I'm not pretending that's a strength — I'm just aware of it, and I count shipped things now instead of planned ones. That's the fix I've got so far.

working on it. genuinely.
