Fiddles

I started out programming with Scratch - a block based game development kit. Then I tried 3D modelling and designing with Blender.

In college, I spent a lot of time with Linux - tried a few distribution, extensions, and tweaks. I've built a theme toggler extension for GNOME Desktop and elementaryOS which attained moderate community reach. Also built a basic text editor for Linux systems using Rust.

Learnt App development basics with taking freelance projects with my friends using technologies like Express, ReactJS and AWS.
