Hey, this is Aadvik, and I love building (and breaking) stuff (usually tech). Currently I am involved in the web dev space, but you might find me doing anything from low-level C dev, to writing scripts to automate the drudgerous parts of my life! I also occasionally write at aadvik's wicked blog. ( ask me how it's built :] )

• Working on the V3 of kevlar

• 08/12/2025 Did Advent of Code 2025 in C++

• 05/10/2025 Built Biome my solo-entry into NASA Space Apps hackathon; Here I built a (slighly overengineered) LLM-based ETL pipeline to process approx ~680 space biology research paper into quantified and structured JSON data for analysis. I then used this data-set to build a graph where clustering represented how semantically, categorically similar two papers were, the size of nodes showed how many citations have been made TO the paper. The data also includes the right fields and parameters to do a contradiction analysis, (given similar conditions and sample sizes, do the results match?) and a lot more, which I was unable to truly justify due to the constrained time-limit.

• 24/09/2025 Built sih-VanaRaj our entry for SIH '25. This involved learning about GeoJSON and how WebGIS works, and a lot of manual data collection to build an interactive "atlas" for tribal people, hosted live at sih.aadvikpandey.com

• 29/11/2024 Built Varta a multi-channel school communications app for my own school. Learnt a whole lot of app dev (flutter/dart), building a great product, delivering a good pitch and SO much more. This was one of my most exciting projects (so-far!)

• 29/02/2024 learnt a lot about "graph theory" and built Giraffe my own experimental graph library.

• 31/01/2024: Finished CS50 Web, CS50 Python and CS50 Web

(These projects aren't abandoned, I will continue to add stuff if I find it worthwhile)

21/12/2023 Doing Advent of Code in Go

I maintain a monorepo of frontend-projects, these are implementations of various designs from across the web, the tech-stack ranges from Webpack w/ Vanilla JS, to full-on React apps.

18/08/2023 OctetOCR is a rather simple OCR model (and data preparation system) in C which uses KNN algorithm to approximate an input image with it's labeled training data

11/08/2023 swt.h is a header-only, zero-dependency implementation for Stroke Width Transform, which allows for text extraction from scenes

10/07/2023 I wrote a Computer Vision Guide that documents much of the functions, and techniques I learn about Computer Vision while building Deimos (which is a CV library in C)

24/06/2023 Chex is a simple chess engine, that offers a web + console UI, which I wrote to mess around with C++ and some of the design patterns I had been studying

24/04/2023 Beaver is a CSV data manipulation library written in Common Lisp

09/05/2023 Wrote a search query parser @byod/dork similar to what search engines use; it primarily srves to remove filler words and distill the language into one which is more deterministic.

14/04/2023 DracoQL is a DSL (Domain specific language) in TypeScript comprising of an AST built upon a rudimentary tokenizer. The AST is interpreted by the JS and the results are either piped into the namespace (which is really just a Map) or to the stdout.

15/12/2022 🎄 Advent of Code in C

11/09/2022 Wrote kevlar a static-site generator using pure C, this project comprises of several smaller chunks, each built from scratch :-

• A minimal and fast markdown parser, which you can download -> md2html
• A non-spec .ini parser
• The Kevlar templating engine, heavily inspired from hugo
• The default kevlar theme

17/02/2022 Gdoc.vim is a plugin provides google docs integration for the Vim editor, it supports all the CRUD operations from a editor first approach.

24/12/2021 Advent of Code in Lua

05/10/2021 Reverse engineered and wrote a wrapper for SchoolOS, which at the time was the site being used by my school for online classes.

Hey! glad you made it here, I am always avaliable via aadv1k[at]outlook[dot]com, I am there on twitter (or 'X') but don't check it often
