PROJECTS
Here are some of the projects I've worked on in no particular order. I have a habit of abandoning projects though, so these are the ones that pass a bare minimum threshold.
A command-line application and library to control HID LampArray devices on Linux, written in Rust. The goal was to control the RGB backlight on my laptop from Linux, which I managed to achieve, and also learnt a lot about how Human Interface Devices (HID) work.
Less of a project and more of a code dumpyard, this contains my implementation of various lang-dev concepts in Rust. It includes a lexer and parser, (very) basic type checker, a compiler IR (based on Basic Blocks), and some simple optimizations like const-folding, dead code elimination and loop-invariant code motion. I mostly got bored around the code-gen part, though I would love to revisit this someday when I have the motivation to do so.
A tool to remove background from images using AI models running locally. The project can be deployed using Docker on, for eg. a homelab. It is written as a full-stack app using SvelteKit, and uses onnx-runtime and huggingface for the models.
My implementation of an interpreter for a language written in C. It follows Robert Nystrom's Crafting Interpreters book closely (great book; I wholeheartedly recommend reading it), with few cosmetic changes. This project both got me interested in language development, and demystified the C language for me at the same time.
A website to sort large collections of bookmarks with a focus on efficiency. I made this for myself when I had over 1000 bookmarks, and it served the purpose well. It features instant previews, keybinds, and easy folder management. Once it fixed my problem though, I abandoned this one too, before I wrote any documentation for it. However, this is probably has a lot of potential (couldn't find any other tools that solve this problem even now) and I would like to redo it as a more finished project sometime.
A browser extension with the explicit purpose to stop all popups that open in a new tab. It does its intended job fairly well.
