Built on the side.
Three things I make outside the day job. Tap any project to expand.
Zoroastrian Almanac
Cultural calendar app for the Parsi community — iOS & Android.
Live · v2.2
Three Zoroastrian calendar traditions — Shehanshahi, Kadmi, Fasli — in one app. Switch between them, view Roj/Mah/Saal of any date, see sunrise/sunset and moon phases, save important dates with yearly recurrence.
Built solo because nothing on the stores served the community properly. Two years in, multiple versions, 4.9-star rating, no data collected.
YZS, est. 1920
Website for a 105-year-old Scouts and Guides society.
Live
The Young Zoroastrians Society is a 105-year-old Scouts and Guides movement in Bombay. They needed a digital home that matched their history — built solo end-to-end on WordPress + Elementor.
Why WordPress: the society is volunteer-run. The committee needs to update content without a developer in the loop. Choosing the right tool for the user, not the showiest one.
Home Automation Lab
A self-hosted, slowly-migrating-away-from-the-cloud smart home.
In progress
Running Home Assistant Green as the hub, with a mixed fleet of Tuya and Zigbee devices being progressively migrated to local control. Zigbee for new purchases, Alexa demoted to voice interface only, all logic owned by the hub.
A working lab, not a finished product. A proper write-up — what broke, what I’d do differently, the migration plan — will land here once the stack settles.
