projects
git-newspaperSelf
Apr 2026- ▸Open-source npm CLI that trended on r/coolgithubprojects and r/node within 24 hours of launch, picking up 100+ stars and 500+ downloads with zero marketing.
- ▸Detects 9 commit-pattern archetypes and renders fully typeset broadsheets with inlined fonts, SVG activity charts, and archetype-specific editorial voice. No LLM dependency, runs fully offline.
CipherLensAcademic · IIIT-Delhi
2025 – 2026- ▸B.Tech project at IIIT Delhi. Built a full-stack ML web app that identifies 22 classical cipher types from raw ciphertext with no keys or plaintext required.
- ▸Trained three complementary models on 550k samples - a dual-input Hybrid CNN (79.24% val accuracy), a character-level DL CNN, and a two-stage XGBoost classifier using 15 statistical features. Stack: FastAPI, PyTorch, XGBoost, Next.js 16, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Docker Compose.
newsforgeSelf
May 2026- ▸LangGraph agent that runs every morning via GitHub Actions, pulls ~40 AI/tech articles through Tavily, filters and categorizes them with GPT-4o-mini, and sends a clean digest to email or WhatsApp. Costs under $0.20/month.
- ▸Pipeline runs as discrete nodes: Search, Filter, Categorize, Summarize, Format, and Deliver, with Jinja2-templated HTML emails. Stack: Python 3.12, LangGraph, LangChain, GPT-4o-mini, Tavily, SendGrid, Twilio, GitHub Actions.

open source
9 merged pull requests into external open source projects in July 2026, mostly parser and spec-compliance fixes in Rust and Zig systems tools. Also merged in rvben/rumdl, with an open PR in Vexu/arocc and bug reports filed on BurntSushi/ripgrep and google/osv.dev.
RFC 7239 Forwarded parsing & $system bucket quotas
reductstore/reductstoreThree merged PRs to a Rust time-series database. Fixed parse_forwarded_for dropping client IPs from multi-hop RFC 7239 Forwarded headers in audit logs, made $system a provisioned bucket that reapplies its quota on restart, and set a default for RS_SYSTEM_EVENTS_QUOTA_SIZE.
OSC parser terminated on BEL or ST
rockorager/libvaxisZig terminal UI library. The OSC parser read past a BEL terminator and consumed the following escape sequence, which could silently kill input. Reported the issue and shipped the fix.
Out-of-bounds panic from a host-controlled size byte
HaoboGu/rmkRust keyboard firmware. VIA's DynamicKeymapMacroSetBuffer trusted a host-supplied size byte, so an oversized macro write panicked out of bounds. Reported and fixed by rejecting oversized buffers.
CSI final byte handling and DCS/APC/PM stripping
ccbrown/iocraftRust terminal UI crate. Corrected CSI final-byte classification and stripped DCS/APC/PM escape sequences that were leaking into rendered output.
Leap second 60 accepted in date-time values
tombi-toml/tombiRust TOML toolchain. Date-time parsing rejected the valid leap second value 60; brought it in line with the TOML and RFC 3339 specs.
Conventional-commit scope validation
jdx/hkRust git hook manager. The conventional-commit check accepted empty and malformed scopes; tightened parsing to reject them.
