About Me

The story so far.

Hi, I'm Atix.

I'm Atiksh Sharma, a 9th grader from India who loves building and tinkering with software and hardware. I am deeply passionate about systems programming, low-level engineering, and exploring how things work under the hood.

I like building compilers, experimental operating systems (like RadianOS), and tools that make programming more fun. I believe in learning by building, whether it's causality engines for satellites or offline AI rovers. Also, I really like cats.

Interests & Hobbies

Cooking Chess Table Tennis Badminton Football Basketball Gaming Reading Nature Photography

Current Obsessions

Memory Models

Trying to figure out how computers remember things. Mostly fighting the borrow checker so it stops yelling at me.

OS Development

Writing my own OS (RadianOS) from scratch because I hate myself. Bootloaders and bare-metal Rust are my current playground.

Compiler Design

Making Wyzer, my own programming language, because why not? Learning how to build lexers without losing my mind.

Research

Reading long academic papers so I don't have to touch grass. Trying to find cool ideas for systems engineering.

Cooking

Throwing things in a pan and hoping they taste good. Finding the perfect spice ratio is basically like optimizing code.

Gaming

Rage-quitting after getting styled on in competitive multiplayer. A good break from staring at terminal errors.

Nature Photography

Taking pictures of trees and stuff so I remember what the outside world looks like.
