Hello there! 👋 I am Shantanu Khedkar, an avid programmer and open source enthusiast. My passion lies in creating projects that range from microcontrollers to frontend development and graphic design. Repurposing unused IoT devices and hardware hacking is one of the ways I like to challenge myself.
Apart from working with technology, I love playing table-tennis and cubing. I am always learning through interaction with real-world products. The design of both code and user-interface inspire me to create and develop.
Finally, I can't believe I need to mention this but: This website is handcrafted. There is no LLM slop here, just pure human fun. That too in vanilla HTML, JS, and CSS. I think this speaks to my ideology of DIY all you can, regardless of final quality.
These are the tools and platforms that aid my creative process. I have a strong grasp of frontend programming, and am looking to explore embedded systems. I currently run Debian 13 with GNOME on my Thinkpad X1, and Nura (Formerly postmarketOS) with Phosh on my OnePlus6T, I choose to use privacy respecting free software and servcies whenever possible. On the hardware side, I have decent experience in thru-hole soldering and CAD.
