Hello! Welcome to my personal website. I am Harshit Sethi. I am a 19 year old, second semester AI student. A self Made AI, Data, Equity Enthusiast(Cap. 1.10k+ INR at 18). In my free time, I like to document nature(especially felids[^1], wild plants). Localize open source projects on Weblate. Skim through and write non-fiction literature on a various topics, including my own works, while employing SDL[^2]. And lot of other things.
The Short Autobiography was a summary of my autobiographies. It covered achievements of every single year since age of 1. I found it hard to maintain, potential privacy issues, and lacking in depth, so I have redacted it from public view. Instead, I let my present achievements speak for my past achievements. After all, achievements speak louder than words, and I could not have achieved what I have now in one day. The two other categories are best described in "Financial", and "Leadership" autobiography, respectively. Some of my actual academic achievemnts, not certificates of completion, can be found on LinkedIn. Rest of relevant entries, mostly related to programming, from what once was Short Autobiography are quoted below.
At the age of 5, I learned about technology including installing third party apps, Bluetooth, web browsing etc, through a Symbian device. Utilized various methods including overnight, bulk downloads and keeping device in open area. Almost amputated my finger while trying to open an electronic with a knife. Received gold medal for scoring highest in our class in overall academics.
At age of 11, I started writing small bat scripts using Exagear, Wine layer for Android. Replaced old, internet-less keypad phone, from age 7, with 3G, J2ME device, and continued self-learning.
At the age of 12, I began teaching myself basics of Linux, Programming and cybersecurity, and started using it for my day to day computing needs and for automating repetitive tasks. Started from Java, but switched to Python a month later. I used Termux because I didn't have a computer. Received silver medal from Science Olympiad Foundation. The photo linked is with the gold medal from age 5.
While this autobiography may give a picture that my life is a
bed of roses, it's far far from truth. I have faced, and still
face, many challenges, criticisms, rumors, insults, lot of social pressure, people calling me priviliged but I have not
mentioned them here, even though they could amplify my success, and
raise donations. I have not used them to get reservations or support from the government. Because: I don't see any merit in crying or
swiping the victim card; I don't wish to traumatize people; it is
hard to explain objectively; this site is SFW; what people say
doesn't affect me; my challenges are also a reason behind my
success.
This site was created by me at age 18 from the ground up, without any template
or static site generator, with strong emphasis on privacy and
minimalism. It is 100% open source(Content: CC-BY-SA-NC, Code: Apache). It doesn't uses
JavaScript, cookies, unnecessary media and is free from
advertisements, trackers and pop-ups. It works perfectly even
without CSS. Here I post about technology, finance, lifestyle,
philosophy and related things. Everything here is Safe For Work(SFW). I will never use
profanity or include NSFW media. This website is a proud member and listed in, of following "*.club": 1MB, Darktheme. I created my logo with a simple paint application at the age of 17. I tried in other software like Inkspace, Gimp but couldn't get desired result. The "h" in logo is small case, so it looks like a chair. "S" is big, upper case so it looks like a monitor directly in front of "h". Overall, it makes it camelCase.About This Website
