Projects

Prototypes, systems work, and earlier projects.

A mix of prototype AI-assisted tools, exploratory systems work, and earlier academic and embedded systems projects. The common theme is end-to-end systems that real people can actually use.

Right now I'm exploring AI-assisted tools and designing prototype software systems. Earlier projects from my B.Tech and M.S. built my foundation in embedded systems, distributed systems, and assistive technology.

The Work

Same categories as the experience timeline — one story, told through what got built.

Personal tools & experiments

2026 · PerunTeCH · Current focus

Internal tools to manage personal finances, planning, and recurring tasks — basically building the systems I wish I'd had earlier.

Python · Spreadsheets & scripts · Backend services

Custom Software Prototypes

2025 · PerunTeCH · Current focus

Small, opinionated tools and example apps built around real constraints: scheduling, planning, money, and everyday logistics.

React · FastAPI / Node · REST APIs

AI assistants & workflow tools

2025 · PerunTeCH · Current focus

Building LLM-powered assistants that help people move through long, multi-step workflows with less stress and fewer mistakes.

TypeScript · Node · PostgreSQL · LLM orchestration

Systems & Safety Experiments

2024 · Independent · Personal projects · Greater Seattle Area

A collection of experiments in embedded systems, tooling, and automation, exploring how to make complex systems easier to understand and verify.
