Self-Taught Builder Obsessed With Speed, Media & Design.

I am a self-taught high school developer based in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu. Instead of waiting for traditional courses, I dove directly into building real projects. My focus centers on mastering Android development with Kotlin, orchestrating media playback pipelines using ExoPlayer, and engineering responsive web experiences.

I believe the most effective way to understand technology is to construct real products. Whether architecting IPTV streaming playlists, designing Android TV user interfaces, or crafting fluid neomorphic web apps, every commit represents a hands-on technical milestone.
