To code is to make art, art that breathes, art that moves, and art that lives on
Inventor, builder, and PhD candidate in Data Science. I see code as sculpture and pixels as poetry. I dive headfirst into the unknown, treating mountains like haybales and turning wild ideas into living, breathing experiences.
Currently obsessing over: truly peer-to-peer systems with no servers in the middle, agentic AI and pushing LLM boundaries (converting quadratic complexities to sub-quadratic, building pipelines that actually make sense), and squeezing real systems work out of Rust. If it can't run locally or P2P, I'm not interested.
My philosophy: The journey is everything. I don't just write code; I craft experiences that have soul.
Holding a granted patent in secure computing / decentralized protocols, with more in the pipeline.
🛰️ Recon2x — Serverless P2P Messaging, Calls & File Transfer
A peer-to-peer comms app that ships as a single self-contained executable — run the binary, it starts a local server and opens your browser. No installer, no Node, no dependencies. 71% Rust (tokio + axum) with a SvelteKit UI compiled into the binary via rust-embed.
The hard part isn't the chat — it's getting two machines to talk directly with nothing in the middle:
- NAT traversal that actually works — IPv6 direct → IPv4 hole-punch (deterministic, clock-synced schedule) → LAN/Bluetooth fallback. No TURN relay, by design.
- Zero-knowledge rendezvous — a tiny HTTP service (running live on a Pi at
rend.vardhin.com) that helps peers find each other but stores only opaque encrypted blobs. It can't read who's talking to whom. - "Parked" presence — a friend's phone in their pocket wakes on a shared-seed v6 schedule so you can reach them directly, no rendezvous round-trip.
- Encryption everywhere — argon2id + ChaCha20-Poly1305 vault for a 24-word BIP39 identity, per-friend X25519 keys, sealed chat-at-rest, sealed file chunks, and per-call AEAD on every Opus/VP9 frame. The backend never touches plaintext media.
- Full media stack — live audio/video calls, streaming file transfer with resume, read receipts, typing, edit/delete, multi-persona identities.
18 releases, builds for Linux/macOS/Windows on tag. This is where most of my systems brain lives right now.
🏡 raspy — Your Own Cozy Homelab, Self-Hosted
An all-in-one control plane for your Raspberry Pi: a vault, a journal/event tracker, a GUI file manager, per-family-member accounts, and a lot more — all yours, on your own hardware. FastAPI spine + a server-driven SvelteKit shell, with a pluggable attachment system: each app contributes an API router and a declarative UI descriptor, so adding a feature never touches the frontend.
- One-command install — a self-contained binary, no Python or Node needed; sets itself up as a boot service and creates the first admin.
- Real auth — Argon2id storage, mini-PIN unlock, rotating sessions, CSRF, lockout/rate-limiting, account-scoped app visibility.
- Live + connected — WebSocket event bus, Web Push via VAPID, and a connectivity app that brings up Cloudflare Tunnel / Tailscale from the UI.
- Batteries included — accounts, todo, notes, calendar, contacts, files, mail, vault, system stats, and more discovered at startup.
Self-updating from GitHub Releases. Personal infrastructure done right.
🌐 Lexicon (LSD) — A Natural-Language HUD for Your Desktop
A transparent, fullscreen overlay layer for Linux — press a hotkey, a glass HUD drops over your whole screen, you type in plain English, and floating widgets appear. Press Escape and it vanishes (zero CPU when hidden). Not a launcher, not a terminal — a daemon that gives your desktop a programmable glass nervous system.
Built as a multi-layer system with body-inspired naming:
- The Body — Tauri + SvelteKit transparent window, Rust IPC, glass-blur draggable/resizable widgets.
- The Brain — a Python/FastAPI grammar engine that loads natural-language extensions (
match()→action()), plus a WebSocket hub. - The Spine — a ZeroMQ event bus wiring every layer together (<5ms toggle round-trip).
- The Memory — embedded SurrealDB persisting widgets, workspaces, themes, scraped data.
- Organs — register any URL as a headless Playwright tab, then deep-scrape it structurally — paste an element's HTML and it discovers and extracts every match.
- Automations — programmable browser workflows (click/scroll/type/paginate/loop) you build and replay.
- Entity resolution — a multi-strategy consensus engine (Jaro-Winkler, Soundex, Double Metaphone, spaCy NER) that merges scraped data into unified person nodes.
Real PTY shells in xterm.js, multi-workspace state, and a full theming system with lx-* CSS anchors. One of the most ambitious things I've built.

I don't "struggle" with problems - I see challenges as haybales, not mountains. I:
- Dive in without knowing everything
- Fiddle until it clicks
- Version control my journey
- Iterate until my vision breathes
Learning style: Hands-on chaos. Break things, fix them, learn by doing.
I'm always looking for passionate souls to build amazing things with. Skill level doesn't matter - passion does.
"Whatever I do, I put my soul into it. Code isn't just logic - it's poetry that's alive, dreams that live."
