PROJECTS#

StratOS Linux:#

A GNU/Linux distribution based on Arch Linux. It provides access to the largest set of repositories of software available on any Linux distribution. My twin (and fellow VITian) Srikanth and I develop the distribution and maintain the package repository, fixing bugs in the distribution. I am the lead developer of the GNOME and Niri spins.

Rockers:#

Implemented this meta-package manager in Rust, for managing packages across several Linux distributions and repositories.

Xoxo#

Simple symmetric cryptographic algorithm implemented in Rust, accompanied by server and client binaries for message exchange.

Smart Planner:#

A voice assistant we worked on as a team to aid with calendar- based task scheduling using a Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, Arduino Uno and MQTT, Python & natural-language processing to parse voice commands, using Firebase as a database and a ReactJS frontend I helped develop.

Dijkstra:#

I created this to visualize the effects of applying Dijkstra’s and A* algorithms on a Matplotlib graph. By measuring the execution time between the two, their efficiency is determined in various scenarios.

Terminator:#

A proof-of-concept task manager written in C using Ncurses. It updates the processes list on-the-fly and sends different UNIX signals to them.
