Battle-Tested Core

Built on the exact Rust/WASM engine that powered 1.8M+ search clicks and 56k daily surges at zero server cost.

// about

whoami.

Dropped out of B.Sc. Mathematics to build things. I build ExamMint, a suite of privacy-first web tools for Indian exam aspirants. Every tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

I care a lot about software that doesn't ask you to trust it. That's why I default to WebAssembly-compiled Rust, static Astro sites, and local-first storage. In 9.5 months, the suite scaled organically to over 1.8M+ Google search clicks with single-day surges of 56k+ clicks—all on a ₹0 server bill because computation runs directly on client devices.

01

Client-Side Absolute

If data doesn't need to leave the device, it doesn't. That's a technical decision, not a privacy policy.

02

Offline-First

Tools go offline when they can. Not a rule, just a preference.

03

Logic Over Degrees

Dropped out of mathematics. Understanding why something works matters more than following prescribed steps.

Rust + WASM Lanczos3 photo & signature resizer with 109 exam presets

India's fastest client-side exam document utility, scaled to 1.8M+ organic Google search clicks at ₹0 server cost. Replaced canvas scaling with Rust-compiled Lanczos3 filtering via WebAssembly for razor-sharp signatures and text, coupled with in-browser Apple HEIC-to-JPEG decoding. Uses Web Workers and dynamic memory sniffing to process massive 48MP–108MP smartphone camera uploads locally without mobile browser crashes.

// engineering tradeoffs

decisions.

2 core architecture rules
// 01Active Architecture

Client-Side WASM Over Server Compute

Compile image resampling (Lanczos3) and decoding directly to Rust + WebAssembly running in the browser, rather than executing in AWS.

Tradeoff:

Requires in-browser dynamic memory sniffing and Web Workers to protect mobile browsers from out-of-memory crashes on 48MP–108MP phone camera uploads.

Code Rule:

Survives viral spikes (56,098 clicks in 24 hours) at ₹0 server infrastructure cost, zero network egress bills, and zero image data liability.

// 02Retired System

Zero Scraping: Retiring Noticeboard & Portal Watch

Formally shut down ExamMint Notification, Telegram scrapers, and government portal uptime monitors that scraped UPSC/SSC portals.

Tradeoff:

Government exam websites frequently alter DOM markups and anti-bot headers without warning, creating an endless maintenance and debugging treadmill.

Code Rule:

Avoid scraping fragile government exam portals without official APIs. Build self-contained utilities for Indian students that run reliably without breaking on website updates.
