Hi! I’m Karthick, a Senior Software Engineer focused on crafting fast, secure, and highly optimized tools for the developer community. I care deeply about privacy, system performance, and keeping the web accessible and transparent.

💻 What I’m Working On

I spend my time building tools and exploring architectures that prioritize user privacy and raw performance:

• CipherKit: A growing suite of 85+ developer tools built entirely with vanilla JavaScript. My core philosophy here is 100% client-side processing—no server-side black boxes. User data never leaves the browser.
• LLM Inference Optimization: I actively experiment with open-source models, specifically focusing on implementing speculative decoding with draft models and optimizing vLLM architectures on GCP to accelerate inference times from scratch.
• High-Performance Engineering: Whether it's tackling complex system designs or optimizing UI/UX for the web, my goal is always to reduce overhead and improve speed.

🤝 Why Sponsor Me?

Open-source development and maintaining free tools take time and resources. Your sponsorship directly helps me:

• Keep CipherKit Free & Private: Funding covers domain, security, and hosting costs, allowing me to focus on adding more client-side tools without relying on ads or tracking.
• Fund Infrastructure: Exploring LLM inference architectures and running vLLM experiments requires heavy GCP compute resources. Your support helps cover those cloud bills.
• Fuel New Projects: It gives me the bandwidth to build and open-source new solutions for the community.

Whether you're a daily user of my tools or simply support the mission of privacy-first, client-side software, I deeply appreciate your backing!
