Ankit Chetri Debyte404

Hi, I am Ankit - aka Debyte

I build polished web products, graphics experiments, and embedded devices. My work moves between production frontend engineering, systems learning, shader experiments, and ESP32 hardware projects.

Currently, I am shipping reader, author, and admin experiences at NovelPedia, while building my own labs around raytracing, Git internals, handheld consoles, and hardware control.

Current direction: product engineering with a low-level edge - clean interfaces, strong debugging, and curiosity for how things work beneath the abstraction.
