How to use this portfolio
A quick tour of what each section does and how to get the most out of it. Everything is one or two clicks away.
~/home.sh
$ Home
- ▸Terminal cards orbit the globe; the one in the center is in focus.
- ▸Hover any card to pause the rotation, then single-click the focused card to open it.
- ▸Scroll sideways (or use the arrows) to spin the orbit yourself.
- ▸The $ intro chevron shows or hides the heading.
~/map.sh
$ Mind Map
- ▸Every node is a project, employer, skill, or capability; its color marks which.
- ▸Click a node to open its page or focus its neighbourhood; hover to light up connections.
- ▸Drag to orbit, scroll to zoom. Best experienced on a wider screen.
~/projects.sh
$ Projects
- ▸Grouped into Independent and Work. Click a card to open the full write-up.
- ▸Each page carries the overview, key decisions, and the architecture behind it.
~/system-design.sh
$ System Design
- ▸Reference architectures with the requirements and tradeoffs behind each call.
- ▸Interactive diagrams use flowchart-convention node shapes; hover for detail.
~/forward-deployed.sh
$ Forward Deployed
- ▸Capability pages for how I ship into enterprises: RAG, observability, guardrails, cost, and more.
- ▸Framed as how I would build it, reference-pattern, no client internals.
~/signal.sh
$ Dashboard & Experience
- ▸Dashboard is the signal at a glance; every number links to its source.
- ▸Experience carries the FDE track record and the employer timeline, with inline links to related projects.
~/ask_niranjan.sh
$ ask_niranjan
- ▸Open the chatbot from the landing avatar or the ask_niranjan button. Ask about my work, decisions, and how I approach a build.
- ▸It answers from real project content and will point you to the right page.
- ▸Window controls are live: red closes, yellow minimizes to a pill, green maximizes.
~/nav.sh
$ Search & Navigation
- ▸Press / or click search to fuzzy-find any section, project, or skill.
- ▸The top nav tucks away on its own; hover the top edge to bring it back.
- ▸Home icon returns home, the arrow goes back to the previous page.
