A tech journal
Hi.. I'm Balaji, an Android engineer by day, a curious tinkerer by night. This is where I journal what I build: little experiments, hardware hacks, LLM apps, and the small annoyances I keep solving with code.
Fresh entries from the workbench.
I turned an old unused laptop into a 24/7 personal AI VPS at home. Ubuntu Server became the base, SSH became the main interface, Tailscale made it accessible from anywhere, and CasaOS gave it a clean browser UI. No monthly cloud bill — just a small private AI box I already owned.
Most of what I build starts with a small itch — a thing I wish worked better, a curiosity I can't shake. Writing it down forces me to think clearly, and maybe leaves a trail someone else can follow.
Open to interesting Android, AI and product engineering conversations.
