/About

Bella wanders. Grab her

I'm Arpit, a CS student at Thapar and co-founder of Origin Studios. I write Python backends and data pipelines, put AI models on small devices, and ship products people actually use. Off the clock I read history: Napoleon at Austerlitz, Hannibal marching elephants over the Alps, Genghis Khan turning a handful of steppe tribes into the largest land empire the world has seen. I like people who planned the impossible and then went and did it. I read a lot of manga (The Climber and Nippon Sangoku live rent-free), JoJo is the best anime ever made, and Gurren Lagann taught me to believe in the me that believes in myself. Every run goes on Strava, and I code to whatever is on Spotify. The round one is Bella, my dog and head of QA. She wanders around on her own. Grab her and the words will still get out of her way.

“If you are afraid, don’t larp it. If you larp it, don’t be afraid.”
