// 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, someone 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.
With a background in development and a current focus on Product Ownership, I treat AI agents like Gemini and Claude as the ultimate force multipliers for my workflow. By orchestrating these models to handle complex logic and rapid prototyping, I’m able to maintain a pace of architectural overengineering that wouldn't be possible otherwise. This collaborative approach allows me to bridge the gap from abstract concept to production-grade implementation with insane velocity.
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.
