reconstructed from git history on my current machine — earlier work (other laptops, github-only, servers) is summarized from memory and incomplete by design
language fundamentals
This is where my real git history starts. I worked through Haskell exercises first (49 commits, June through August), then switched to Rust in September and October. Both were small, structured exercise repos rather than applications, deliberate practice in two very different type systems before I started building anything of my own. A tiny local DSA notes repo rounds out the stretch.
first collaborations
I set up my GitHub profile repo in November, describing myself as an AI/ML engineer,
web developer, and DevOps engineer, the first time I wrote that down anywhere.
December brought my first commits into the DIC lab’s emotion-recognition work
(Vid_dataset_Aug), and my first real team project: the programming club website,
built with a classmate.
research sprint
The busiest early stretch. I opened a string of DIC lab repos in quick succession, facial video processing, frame extraction, LLM-assisted annotation, training-data staging, pushing on multimodal emotion recognition research. In parallel I built Insightify, a competitor-analysis tool, with the Insightify-analysis org, and contributed briefly to a hackathon website for GDGC. April added a first pass at retrieval-augmented generation for education (Classroom RAG and smaller experiments).
hiremantis, in a month
May 2025 is my single biggest month so far, 243 commits, almost all of them Hiremantis, an AI-powered recruitment platform, going from nothing to a working app. Next.js 15, TypeScript, MongoDB Atlas, Tailwind. It stayed my main side project on and off for the next nine months.
hackathon season
A dense, collaborative stretch. I did a week-long team sprint on a legal-advice project (60 commits), started the LafleurTech transcription pipeline work, and joined the AISOC 2025 (AI Summer of Code) team behind TheAutisticAPI and a few smaller hackathon repos. July added SuneriCLI, a terminal assistant I built solo around the Gemini API. August brought the Full Stack Open coursework, the HackRx 6.0 hackathon, and Agent_kdg, a LangGraph dev-agent for 3rd-semester coursework.
inference infrastructure
Activity cooled off through the autumn, with smaller repos (Scheme and Lisp coursework, an Amazon ML hackathon entry, a NeMo Parakeet ASR component for the transcription pipeline). December was a short, focused push: patching the Open-Sora video-generation model for single-GPU support and optional tensornvme, then wrapping it in a GCP serving layer. My first real infra-for-inference work.
tools and research
January 2026 was my quietest month in two years. Then at the end of February I started a personal knowledge-base practice that quickly became my most-committed-to repo ever. Alongside it: git-surgeon, a git-history-rewriting CLI I published on PyPI; flexoki-mcp-server, a theme-generation MCP server on npm; RLM-agent, an LLM-orchestration toolkit; and a handful of research repos on SLM steering, credit-risk interpretability, and a biomarker classifier benchmark. April added a sorting-algorithms coursework project and this site.
