Hi, I'm Sairaj.

I write code, play tabla, and occasionally disappear into sci‑fi novels and long sitcom re‑runs.

Currently toggling between developer

See what I've built Say hello

Built without React or fancy frameworks. Just HTML, CSS, JS and a slightly stubborn curiosity.

About

I’m a developer who likes building small things that are actually used: a social app that escaped its college‑project origins, a Reddit joke fetcher that friends quietly rely on, and a finance tracker that tries to make money feel a bit less abstract.

When I’m not glued to a screen, I’m usually with my tabla, reading sci‑fi, or dissecting a sitcom episode like it’s a technical document. I enjoy systems that feel human: clear, fast, and a little opinionated.

This site is a snapshot of that mix – not a "developer template", just a place to put things I care about.
