I build developer tools and web apps in Python, C and JavaScript. B.Sc. CS student in Kolkata, and a Reviewer for is-a.dev with 1500+ pull requests reviewed.
CS Undergrad · Full Stack Developer (Maybe)
Currently a B.Sc. Hons Computer Science student at Acharya Prafulla Chandra College, Kolkata (semester 2, still googling things I "learned" in semester 1). I'm also a Reviewer at is-a.dev and free-domains - making me a professional button-clicker.

Stack
Selected Work
I build tools, libraries, and web utilities - mostly things I wish existed, occasionally things nobody asked for. Written up with the decisions and trade-offs left visible.
WhatsApp Logger
Privacy-first architecture running 24/7 in the cloud to permanently archive WhatsApp conversations. Not spying, just... very thorough remembering.
Veyrix IDE
Lightweight PWA code editor running fully in-browser. Built after one too many "I forgot to bring the assignment" moments - write the code, download it in any extension, print, done.
Githrun
Python CLI to pipe GitHub raw content directly into local execution sandboxes. For people (me) too impatient to git clone.
Cloud Compiler
Remote code compilation service providing a sanitized environment for C/C++ execution. Kept alive by hope and a Render free tier.
Misc & Open Source
Libraries, coursework, and things I was procrastinating on instead of Sem 2 Prep.
B.Sc Coursework
Every B.Sc. practical I've ever suffered through, preserved for posterity.
ESAL-1.0
Educational Source-Available License. My own software license, mostly to say "please don't copy this" in legal-sounding language.
Notes & Thinking
What I Learned Reviewing 1500+ Pull Requests at is-a.dev
As a Reviewer at github.com/is-a-dev, I review subdomain registration requests from developers worldwide. Or, to put it more accurately, I stare at broken JSON files until they blur into a singular, mocking entity.
After 1500+ PRs, my soul has officially left my body. The sheer volume of developers pointing CNAMEs to localhost, forgetting trailing commas, and boldly trying to register google.is-a.dev has eroded my remaining sanity. I spend half my day begging people to please, for the love of all that is holy, make their repositories public before asking for a domain. I am no longer a developer; I am a glorified JSON linter and a part-time therapist for DNS conflicts. Send help. And coffee.
The Portfolio Graveyard
I am so incredibly tired. I have built, burned down, and rebuilt my portfolio seven times before this. Each iteration was a desperate attempt to look "professional" before I finally gave up, threw design out the window, and made this plain text document.
For your amusement, here lies the graveyard of my previous digital identities:
- Portfolio v1 - The 'ARANAG' Rebrand - decided my own name wasn't cool enough, invented an alias, wrapped it in neon green glow effects. Nobody knows who ARANAG is. Neither do I anymore.
- Portfolio v2 - ARANAG: Redux - same identity crisis, different neon color, now with more background boxes because apparently one aesthetic wasn't enough.
- Portfolio v3 - The extreme minimalist phase. It accidentally became completely invisible.
- Portfolio v4 - The Cyberpunk Terminal Simulator - 3,390 lines, particle effects, a fake boot sequence, and a hidden 'Session Terminated' page nobody asked for. This is where I peaked, mentally.
- Portfolio v5 - The Neo-Brutalism Phase - thick borders, hard shadows, angry uppercase type. Looked like a punk zine. Recruiters did not find it punk.
- Portfolio v6 - The LinkedIn Cosplay - so safe and minimal it could've been a resume template. Zero animation, zero personality, maximum 'please hire me.'
- Portfolio v7 - The one that actually worked. So naturally I couldn't leave it alone and rebuilt everything from scratch anyway.
This is version 8. There will not be a version 9.
