I am working on an OpenType text shaper and renderer in Javascript and Rust with minimal memory requirements. Will allow complex scripts (Arabic, Devanagari, Thai, Khmer, etc.) rendering with standard TrueType fonts on embedded systems like a valilla esp32.

I've been working on a set of custom PHPStan rules that started off as a replication / modernization of rules from PHPMD, but has evolved to include more than that.

https://acoust.io began as a project to learn React. However, I received a few customers after posting it on Reddit. I’m still figuring out the best way to position it in the crowded market, but I’m enjoying the process of building and learning.

Making rent as an open source developer.

Shamelessly trying to attract new monthly sponsors and people willing to buy me the occasional pizza with my crap HTML skills.

Working on building an audio drama studio, publishing audio dramas starting with the Mahabharata. As an Indian, I have always been fascinated with the concept of `Dharma` and the Mahabharata treats it as a very grey area morally. Having lots of fun rn :)

I’m making a detective themed iOS-based visual novel with React Native.

Making the game engine was easy. Making the story consistent, believable, and interesting has been the biggest challenge for me.

I’ve written a few bad novels but never any narrative games, so it’s been a good exercise for me.
