Hello! Welcome to my personal website. I am Harshit Sethi. I am a 19 year old, second semester 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. Read 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 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
