## About Me



I am an incoming undergraduate computer science student at

[IIIT Hyderabad](https://www.iiit.ac.in). I have contributed 400+ issues/PRs

across 30+ repositories over the past seven years - starting with my first PR

for Google Code-In when in 2018, to most recently working with MIT Media Lab’s

Large Population Models (LPM) team on their

[AgentTorch](https://lpm.media.mit.edu/docs) project for differentiable agent

based learning since April 2024.



I’m the co-maintainer for the popular node.js libraries

[express-rate-limit](#express-rate-limit) and

[express-slow-down](#express-slow-down) used to shield servers from DDOS

attacks, contributor to [vercel/serve](#vercelserve),

[Refined Github](#refined-github), [FPM](#jordansisselfpm),

[Beckn](https://github.com/beckn),

[Sunbird Registries and Credentials](#sunbird-rc), and have created projects

such as [Dabbu](#dabbu-knowledge-platform) (a knowledge platform),

[office-text-extractor](#office-text-extractor), as well as [yeet](#yeet) (a

package manager for Arch Linux), amongst others. I participated in the national

ONDC Grand Hackathon in 2022 and my team won a special mention award. I was also

invited to give a talk titled 'A 12 Grader's Journey to Opensource Contribution

via Sunbird and Beckn' at the

[Sunbird DPG Tech Fusion Conference](https://lu.ma/kinhufit) in 2024.



## Projects That I Maintain



#### [express-rate-limit](https://github.com/express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit)



> _2.7k stars, 7.6M dl/month_

> ([list of authored pull requests](https://github.com/express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit/pulls?q=author%3Agamemaker1))



Rewrote the library in Typescript, created the modern store interface and

continue to maintain it alongside [@nfriedly](https://github.com/nfriedly), the

original author. Help in maintaining 7 out of the 8

[stores written for the library](https://express-rate-limit.mintlify.app/reference/stores),

and

[helped rewrite](https://github.com/express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit/pull/378)

the default memory store to make it more memory-efficient.

#### [express-slow-down](https://github.com/express-rate-limit/express-rate-limit)



> _230+ stars, 95k dl/month_



Helped with the rewrite in Typescript, and achieving feature parity with

express-rate-limit. I continue to maintain it alongside

[@nfriedly](https://github.com/nfriedly), the original author.

#### [agent-torch](https://github.com/AgentTorch/AgentTorch)



> part of the Large Population Models project by MIT Media Lab



Created a custom model using the framework to simulate movement of predator and

prey on a map of Central Park, NY. Also added a feature that allows for easier

declaration of substeps using decorators.



Currently working on improving the Python API, creating interactive simulations

for various use cases such as solar panel adoption, zoning policy, as well as

integrating it with Beckn.

## Projects That I Have Created



#### [dabbu-knowledge-platform](https://github.com/dabbu-knowledge-platform/cli)



> ([website](https://dabbu-knowledge-platform.github.io))



The Dabbu Knowledge Platform was created with an aim to rethink the way we

organize and traverse large amounts of knowledge, no matter where it is stored.

Dabbu allows you to access any of your personal information (Gmail, Google

Drive, OneDrive, your hard drive, etc.) as simple files and folders from the

Dabbu CLI.



You can also go into the knowledge drive where you can pivot information by

topics/people/places. For example, `k:/$ cd austin` will return you all your

information from Gmail, GDrive, OneDrive that has a reference to the place

Austin. You can further narrow your search by running

`k:/austin$ cd [email protected]`. This would show you all emails and files that

are related to Austin and from/to [email protected].



The feature that allows you to organise/search your files based on topics in the

files' text, uses the Latent Dirichlet Algorithm to extract the topics. In the

future, I'd like to generate a one-pager/summary related to a certain set of

topics/places/people. For example, `k:/austin/[email protected]$ one-pager`

should give me a neatly organized one pager of all Austin related things I have

discussed with [email protected]. This could be tackled using small AI models, or

simple natural language processing.

#### [verifiable-presentation/generation-service](https://github.com/verifiable-presentation/spec)



> ([reference impl](https://github.com/verifiable-presentation/impl))



The specification and minimal reference implementation for a plugin-based

service that allows issuers to render verifiable presentations, based on the

[W3C verifiable credential specification](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model)

from templates, and store it in a queryable database for holders to

list/retrieve.



---



#### [office-text-extractor](https://github.com/gamemaker1/office-text-extractor)



Yet another library to extract text from docx, pptx, xlsx, and pdf files. What

sets it apart is that it parses files based on their mime types, and not their

file extensions. It does not spawn a child process to use a tool installed on

the device, and it reads and returns text from the file if it contains plain

text.



While the parsers for pdf, docx, and xlsx files use popular libraries, the

parser for pptx files is written and maintained by me.



---



#### [yeet](https://github.com/gamemaker1/yeet)



A minimalistic pacman wrapper written in bash.



---



#### [bak](https://github.com/gamemaker1/bak)



A minimalistic backup tool written in bash.



---



#### [tau](https://github.com/gamemaker1/tau)



tiny, adorable urls: a url shortener, written in python using flask and sqlite3.



---



#### [http-negotiator](https://github.com/gamemaker1/http-negotiator)



A HTTP content negotiator for V that allows you to parse the Accept header of an

HTTP request and get the preferred response media type specified by the client.



---



#### [micro-plugin-prettier](https://github.com/gamemaker1/micro-plugin-prettier) and [micro-plugin-xo](https://github.com/gamemaker1/micro-plugin-xo)



Plugins to format and lint code using [Prettier](https://prettier.io) and

[XO](https://github.com/xojs/xo) for my favourite editor,

[Micro](https://micro-editor.github.io).



---



#### [subtitle-translator](https://github.com/gamemaker1/subtitle-translator)



A python that uses Deeplator to translate subtitles in .srt files to and from

six different languages. This project was one of my first open source projects,

and my submission to Google Code-In in 2018.



## Areas of Interest



The following are topics I would like to research in the near future.



- Neurosymbolic AI

- Time series analysis

- Procedurally generated reinforcement learning environments

- Causal information extraction, and creating knowledge graphs

- Annotating unstructured multimodal information

- Image and video generation

- Frugal AI, running inference on edge TPUs and CPUs

- Benchmarking datasets and models



The following are areas that I have previously explored:



- Building custom ROMs for Android phones (compiled LineageOS succesfully for my

  own phone), and playing around with low level languages to better understand

  how the computer works (followed tutorials to write a kernel in assembly and

  rust).
