A Hinglish social-deduction bluffing game of power, satire & second chances — Kursi ke liye kuch bhi karega. Pure (GameState, Intent) → GameState reducer drives the AI, UI, and a future server.

Offline-first mileage, travel & expense tracker — one Kotlin codebase across Android, iOS, Wear OS, watchOS & Desktop. 46-module clean architecture: 13 feature modules meeting only at the composition root.

An Integration Lab for the Android payments ecosystem — every gateway behind one abstraction, with a live look at what actually happens on each transaction. 40-module registry (15 local + 25 composed) spans 66 cataloged payment gateways.

A native, multiplatform AI career-intelligence engine — and the open-source project it's built on. 25-module Kotlin Multiplatform clean architecture — 12 feature + 6 core modules — targeting Android, iOS, Desktop, Web and a Spring Boot 4 server from one shared engine.

The site you're reading — a provider-agnostic LLM chat that answers as me, grounded in my real CV. 3D scroll-driven hero, printable résumé view, and case studies with real production metrics.

A first-person time-loop game about a moment someone could not let end. One deterministic (state, InputFrame) → state step reused five ways: cooperative Echoes, ghosts, leaderboard replays, the Hunter, and boss desync.
