Me

I'm Srijan, A CS and math enthusiast currently in Bangalore, India.
By trade, I'm a programmer, and work at DeepSource – a code health monitoring platform.

As of 2024, My interests lie in:

• Programming: Compilers, computer networks, functional programming.
• Reading: High fantasy, shin honkaku (golden age japanese mysteries), sci-fi.
• Math: Category theory, linear algebra.
• Technology: Retro console architecture (NES, Gameboy, PlayStation), game development.
• Miscellaneous: Pixel art, typography.

I don't actively play as many video games anymore, but have grown up playing Warcraft 3, DotA 2, and Nuclear Throne – in that order.

This site

This website is compiled with bark – my own static site generator. There are no trackers, and all analytics are privacy friendly (courtesy of GoatCounter). The comments on my blog posts are powered by giscus.

Driving philosophy

I have a sincere appreciation for lightweight and performant websites. I love pages with intentful design, view-sourcable markup, and minimal runtime JS footprint. No visual clutter, no clunky gimmicks that tear through the DOM, no third party cookies or trackers unless necessary.

This site is deliberately structured so that the page contents and URLs mirror the source. At its core, all posts and logs are just a stack of files; and a bespoke SSG handles code generation. You can share the source files in a tarball, and the receiver can browse the whole thing in a text editor (even this collapsible section).

Projects

• Nez: An emulator for the NES, written in Zig.
• Vyse: A dynamically typed, interpreted programming language for embedding in applications like web-servers and game engines.
• Bonkyon: A small puzzler game written in LOVE. Play here.
• Bark: A static site generator like Hugo/11ty/Jekyll written in Haskell.
• Shriek: A topdown horror RPG game.
• CSTriviaBot: A fun, general purpose discord bot.

And many more on my GitHub.
