Building my way
into data science.

I'm H. Siddarth — a student exploring programming, data science, AI, and software by building things.

01the serious stuff

Projects

Things with enough substance to deserve their own repo, README, and several rounds of debugging.

02 / PYTHONEXPERIMENTS

Project Forge

A Python CLI for data + ML experiments.

SQLite-backed experiment records, model training, and a CLI workflow for keeping track of what happened.

03 / PROTOTYPEIN DEVELOPMENT

PROOF

Document verification, without the magic-word marketing.

V0.1 explores document upload, structured-field extraction, cross-field consistency checks, and an explainable verification report.

  2. extract
  3. validate
  4. explain

Sidequests

Not everything needs to solve a serious problem.

01

Rickroll Checker

A tiny meme project designed to detect whether something is secretly trying to rickroll you.

internet nonsense
02

Absurd README Generator

Completely useless idea. Extremely serious documentation.

03

Project Φ

A small mathematical/programming project around Euler's totient function.

Something next

Reserved for the next idea that probably should have stayed in the notes app.

Now

A snapshot of what is actually taking up my brain space.

This page is intentionally temporary. It should change as I do.

Lab

Things I'm testing, breaking, rebuilding, or figuring out.

The Lab is allowed to be unfinished. A half-working idea is still more useful here than a fake success story.

05things worth remembering

Notes

Short, practical writeups from actually learning the stuff.

PYTHON

Things I learned the hard way

Small notes from debugging, building, and finally understanding what the code was doing.

DATA

Dataset construction notes

How I think about fields, missing values, provenance, and validation while building small datasets.

PROJECTS

Build logs

What changed, what broke, and what I would do differently next time.

Journey

01
Started programming

Early experiments and learning the basics.

02
Built small Python projects

Learning by making things that actually run.

03
Project Forge

Moved toward CLI tools, SQLite, and experiment tracking.

04
Project Helix

Started thinking more seriously about data, structure, and validation.

05
Exploring data science + AI/ML

Figuring out what I actually enjoy by building.

Current phase

JEE + coding + whatever interesting rabbit hole appears next.

07tools on the desk

Uses

Only things I actually use or actively learn. No skill inflation.

About

I'm an 11th-grade PCMC student preparing for JEE and exploring programming, data science, AI, ML, and software development.

I learn best by building things. Sometimes the build is useful. Sometimes it is a dataset. Sometimes it is a CLI. Sometimes it is a completely unnecessary internet joke.

The point is not to look like I have already made it. The point is to document getting there.
