im a student at vidya academy of science and technology in kerala. i build things in free time on a dell g15 with an rtx 3050 that is always almost out of vram
most of my time right now goes into rota ai, a free open source voice dictation app for windows. started because my wispr flow 14-day trial ended and i could not pay $15/month. spent 6 months learning whisper, voice activity detection, llm cleanup, and how to inject text into any windows app. it works. people use it
voice dictation for windows. hold f9, speak, text appears where your cursor is. whisper plus an llm cleanup pass. works with groq, gemini, or fully local through ollama
among us style game in flutter. built to learn real time multiplayer. single player bot mode because i cant get multiple people on localhost
ai lung abnormality detection from chest x ray images. jupyter notebook project from when i was first learning how medical imaging and ml work together
forked from paperclipai. reading through the architecture to understand how multi agent systems coordinate
not from college courses. from trying to build rota ai and failing at it for weeks at a time
claude code and cursor helped a lot. not because they wrote everything for me. because when i was stuck on something for 3 days, like why my audio pipeline was dropping the first 200ms of speech, i could get an actual explanation instead of a stackoverflow answer that assumes i already know the answer
i learned about silero vad at 1 am from onnx docs. learned windows ui automation because sendinput alone was not enough for all apps. learned sqlite because json files fell over once session history got past a few hundred entries
still google basic python stuff regularly
if you are a student who wants to build something and thinks you cannot because you lack experience, i was you six months ago. start building. you will not regret it
