I built a zero-dependency, ultra-lightweight developer portfolio website and interactive workspace (vardh.me), written entirely in vanilla HTML/CSS and native JavaScript ES6 modules to ensure instant loading. The biggest challenge was building the real-time GitHub telemetry engine—featuring a dynamically rendered contribution calendar and commit log with local caching—completely framework-free. I am particularly proud of hand-coding the interactive showcases from scratch, specifically hides.app, which implements client-side zero-knowledge AES-GCM encryption with Shannon entropy analysis, and the timing heuristics for barcode scanning. To test the project, press Ctrl+K or click 'Open Terminal' to run CLI commands like help, github, or resume, and click through the project showcases to explore the live database and cryptographic tools.
