I’m Karttikeya. Systems toucher, Nix and nvim enthusiast ;)
I'm a Computer Science undergrad at Thapar University with a focus on systems programming. I love lower layers of software like compilers, interpreters, access control systems, and tools that make the developer experience smoother and more secure.
A high-performance, deterministic filesystem time-machine and data debugger. Built with Merkle-DAGs and Content-Defined Chunking to enable infinite undo and granular data provenance.
GitHub-style access control for SSH servers. Define authorized_keys in TOML, track changes via Git, and sync via a secure daemon. Built from scratch in Rust.
A toy compiler and interpreter that explores expression evaluation with a Rust-inspired syntax.

Focus Areas:
Systems Programming • Compiler Theory • Cybersecurity • DevOps • Versioned Infrastructure
- Writing secure system daemons and privilege separation
- How real compilers optimize code
- Designing portable tools for infrastructure and config validation
- Rewriting tooling and workflows from scratch in Rust, just to understand them better
