I lean product and systems over pure development. Give me a problem and I'd rather work out how the whole thing should run and drive the process to ship it, then write the specific code that's actually missing.

Discord is where this shows up most: bots, permissions, moderation, anti-raid setup. A lot of what I build, on Discord and off it, comes down to the same instinct: find the resourceful way to make something work with whatever's on hand, then clean it up once it does. If you know the word jugaad, that's pretty much my whole approach in one word.

Right now I'm on a drop year, prepping for JEE Advanced and UGEE 2027. Longer term I'm working toward AI systems for autonomous surveillance and drone platforms. The tools and ops work here are groundwork for that, even on the days it doesn't look like it. Off the clock it's an SCP habit and a BoyWithUke problem; both live over in #yapping.
