Hello, I'm Nitik

About

I fell in love with technology before I knew what it was called.

Growing up in Delhi, I was that kid who took apart every remote-controlled car, every broken toy, every gadget I could get my hands on—not to break them, but to see the magic inside. At 12, I decided I'd build my own robot. Not a kit. Not a tutorial. My own. I spent months scavenging motors from old CD drives, learning to solder on a borrowed iron that was older than me, writing terrible code on a shared family laptop that lagged every time I opened Chrome.

That robot never walked. But the obsession stuck.

Now 17, still in Delhi, still a PCM student juggling physics derivations and board exams. But my nights look different—CTF challenges, DNS reconnaissance tools, systems programming in C, debugging kernel panics at 2 AM. The robot dream evolved into something quieter but deeper: building tools that solve real problems for real people.

2026 has been the year I stopped asking permission. Shipped CTFT and Gxpdns. Contributed to open source. Failed a lot. Learned more. The laptop's faster now. The soldering iron's still borrowed.
