## About

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. Next up is a Software Engineering apprenticeship (**Applikationsentwickler EFZ**) at **Google**.

On the side, I'm co-founder of [Avtoris](https://avtoris.studio). We help small businesses build their digital infrastructure, starting with a website that actually works for them.

Off the keyboard, you'll find me at John Reed lifting, or training toward an Ironman.

## Projects

### Inside Glattbrugg

A web deep-dive into Glattbrugg, the place I grew up. There's more to it than the flight path.

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.

Tags: HTML, CSS, JavaScript

### Screen Time Reality Check

Turns your weekly screen time into uncomfortably honest numbers.

Enter your weekly screen time and it tells you what that adds up to over a year: books unread, runs not run and hours of sleep lost. A small tool with a big guilt trip, built in vanilla JS.

Tags: JavaScript, CSS

### Gmail Digest Bot

An automated summarizer that turns inbox chaos into one clean daily digest.

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.

### Prayer Times Widget

An iOS home-screen widget showing today's prayer times for Zurich.

Written in JavaScript with Scriptable. Fetches prayer times for Zurich, caches them for offline use, and highlights the next prayer with a countdown, so you see it at a glance right on your home screen.
