A static site documenting my hometown: the spots that matter, the people, and what living next to an airport actually feels like. Built to practice layout, typography and storytelling on the web.

Building things at Google. Applikationsentwickler in the making.
01About
Born in India, raised in Zurich since I was 9 — I switch between German, Swiss German, English, and Hindi/Urdu without thinking about it. Code's just the fifth language.
Currently finishing my Basisjahr at BBC, learning how to build great things before the real one starts — a Software Engineering apprenticeship (Applikationsentwickler EFZ) at Google.
Off the keyboard, you'll find me at John Reed lifting, or training toward an Ironman.

03Projects
Enter your weekly screen time and it tells you what that adds up to over a year — in books unread, runs not run and hours of sleep lost. A small tool with a big guilt trip, built in vanilla JS.
An automated email summarizer built with Claude Cowork that reads through my inbox and generates a clean digest, so I stop drowning in email. n8n-based automation planned as the next upgrade.
Written in JavaScript with Scriptable. Fetches prayer times for Zurich, caches them for offline use, and highlights the next upcoming prayer with a countdown — glanceable right from the home screen.
