Hello, I'm

Somesh Kumar

a fan of code, complex systems, and taking things apart to see how they work. Sometimes I put them back together—currently as a Software Engineer at EPAM Systems, where I write Python and build generative AI pipelines.

When I’m not doing that, I work on my personal projects, build custom planner apps, and mess around with my home server.

As someone who likes keeping control of my own setup, I prefer self-hosting my services and digging into the hidden parts of how networks function.

In my spare time, I’m probably watching way too many movies or trying to work my way through an endless backlog of TV shows.

I Finally Built a Boilerplate for AI Context Files (Because I Was Tired of Repeating Myself)

FaceID in Campus

I found a flaw in our college’s FaceID system that lets anyone upload images to other students’ accounts using a common API key. This could allow unauthorized access to the campus!
