OWASP ZAP (zap-extensions)

Reduced unnecessary initializations in zap-extensions, improving performance and lowering resource usage in a widely used security tool.
I'm a software engineer from India with 3+ years of experience building backend and AI systems end-to-end. I enjoy building things that are actually useful to people, and sometimes just things I’m curious about. I’ve built products like Zhiro, a modern read-it-later app, and Bifrost, a simple observability platform for small Docker-focused teams.
I care about simplicity in the way I build - clean code, clear structure, and practical solutions over unnecessary complexity. I prefer choosing the right tools for the problem and writing systems that are easy to understand, maintain, and scale over time.
My approach is straightforward: keep things simple, focus on quality over shortcuts, and keep learning while building real things that work.
I've worked on a variety of projects, from simple websites to complex web applications. Here are a few of my favorites.
I run multiple servers and services, and I needed a simple way to monitor resource usage, spikes, and logs. Existing tools like Grafana and Loki felt too heavy for this. So I built a lightweight system where you install a small agent and start monitoring instantly from a single dashboard.
I used to save articles by sending them to myself on WhatsApp, but I never went back to read them. It was messy, unorganized, and easy to forget. So I built a simple system where saving and reading later is actually frictionless. Zhiro lets you save articles cleanly, organize them with tags, and come back to them anytime, with features like summaries and audio to make consumption easier.
I care about shipping practical systems and improving the tools other engineers rely on. Here are a few open source contributions that reflect that mindset.
