// building things that didn't need to be this good
Apps, tools, and experiments from someone
who genuinely cannot leave well enough alone.
SECTION 01 — OPERATOR PROFILE REV A
Hi — I'm Animesh Sarkar, a software developer who builds things for the joy of building them. If a weekend project can be done simply, I'll probably find a more interesting way to do it.
I work primarily in Flutter — because one codebase for Android, desktop, and web is exactly the kind of overengineering I respect — and Python when I'm orchestrating agents or automating something that didn't strictly need automating.
This site is the portfolio that lives on my CV. You'll find Android apps, open-source projects, desktop builds, and occasional field notes from the trenches of hobby software development.
