I write software — mostly small desktop tools for people who make things. Artists, musicians, tinkerers. The kind of people who'd rather own their tools than rent them.

Right now most of my time goes into Lumaref, a reference board for artists that lives in one file on your machine, with no account, no subscription, and no cloud. It's the tool I always wanted for my own workflow, so I built it, and now I keep building it.

Before that I shipped open-source work across Rust, Python, and the WebAssembly ecosystem — wake-word detection for Python, a piano-to-MIDI model, a runtime-agnostic WebAssembly component layer. Smaller things too: CLI tools, libraries, the kind of code you write because a problem bothers you and nobody else seems to be solving it.

Outside of code, I draw badly, read too much, and try to spend a few hours every week on something with no screen involved. It helps. I'd recommend it.

Or just email: iamhemantx@proton.me. I read everything, reply when I can.
