// currently building things that didn't exist yesterday
Hey, I'm Arav
I build from scratch.
Developer working on independent projects across AI, embedded hardware, and tooling — hands-on, ground-up, no shortcuts. Fine-tuned models, autonomous cyber-reasoning, ESP32 displays algorithms — if it's worth building, it's worth understanding fully first.
01 / about
I like taking things apart to see how they work, then rebuilding them my own way. That's the thread running through everything below — a chatbot rebuilt as a language model trained from scratch, a desk display that reads Windows' media session instead of fighting an API, a compression algorithm implemented by hand instead of imported.
