"Once I learned how to learn, I became the master of my learning."
Hey, I'm Karan — a curious builder, blockchain developer, and open-source contributor who believes in breaking things just enough to understand how they truly work.
My journey into tech wasn't sparked by trends or buzzwords — it began with a simple urge to figure out how systems behave when you push them past their limits. That mindset led me into blockchain — a space that feels less like a technology and more like a shift in how we define trust, ownership, and freedom.
What fascinates me about blockchain isn't just smart contracts or tokens — it's the ability to encode trust into code, eliminate gatekeepers, and build systems that are public yet private, transparent yet secure. It forces you to think differently — not just about how you code, but why.
pixelpenguin.sh is more than a portfolio — it's a reflection of who I am. A quiet space where I think out loud in code, document my builds and breaks, and leave behind pixels with purpose.
Beyond tech, I'm someone figuring things out one project at a time. I want to travel more, meet diverse minds, and let the world shape me in ways books and screens never could.
When not coding, I find comfort in stories — particularly the raw, honest Hindi literature of writers like Munshi Premchand. His work reminds me why simplicity will always matter.
I know there's much left to learn and a long way to go. Let's see where life takes me from here.
