I build systems that shouldn't be this hard.

Nirbav Sankar. Grade 9 at GEMS Our Own High School Al Warqa'a, Dubai. Self-taught, I learn by building: MUN software, a voice agent that runs my laptop, and a CBSE answer grader.

/01 What I'm into

Too many tabs open, all of them on purpose.

Nirbav Sankar

I'm fourteen, chronically over-committed, and fairly sure sleep is a scheduling problem rather than a biological one. I split my time between Model UN committee rooms, physics rabbit holes — right now a fusion-accelerated spacecraft concept for interstellar travel — and building in public: as a Senior Lead at Fulminare and leading design for F1 in Schools. The rest goes to writing on Medium about AI, drafting a fantasy series, learning why my microcontrollers keep breaking, and FIDE-rated chess.

    MUN Tools

    A fully browser based MUN platform I built to test whether all of a conference's software, from chair logs to secretariat oversight, can run purely online.

    Writing about AI.

If something is harder than it should be, it's usually a tool nobody has built yet.
