Tejas Mahajan

I'm a B.Tech Computer Science student who likes building things that are fast, clever, and sometimes borderline ridiculous. I love pushing the edge of what I can make.

And yes — I use Arch, btw.

🧠 My Desktop Setup

TIP

“Minimal, fast, and beautiful. Built for deep work.”

WARNING

RAM is bogging here, but it's normally around 1GB when idle.

OS & Environment

Distro: Arch Linux (I keep jumping but stuck here for 3 months now)
WM: Hyprland via the HyDE Project
Display Protocol: Wayland (native)
Shell: zsh + Oh My Zsh + plugins
Terminal: Kitty (GPU-accelerated, ligatures, slick AF)
Fonts: CaskaydiaCove Mono / JetBrains Mono / FiraCode (All Nerd Fonts)
Status Bar: Waybar (with some custom modules)
Launcher: wofi or rofi-wayland
File Manager: nnn (TUI) + Thunar (GUI backup)

💻 Editor & IDE Stack

Primary Editor: VS Code / Zed-Editor (when low on RAM)
Fallback: Neovim (when I want pure terminal-mode flow)

🌐 Browser(s)

Main: Zen Browser
Alt: I have firefox installed :)

🛠️ Tools I Rely On

Clipboard: cliphist + wofi
Package Manager: pacman + yay
Dotfiles: Fully custom — Hyprland, Kitty, Waybar, zsh, VS Code, and more (Spotify, cava etc.)

👨‍💻 Languages, Frameworks & Stack

IMPORTANT

Following things aren't my limits though, I know a lot of things.

Core Languages

C++ (when going Low or CP)
Python (DL stuff, backend, blog, manim, fast scripts and much more you can't even imagine)
JavaScript / TypeScript (frontend/backend or playing with motion-canvas)
Rest are just for fun.

Frameworks & Tools

Frontend: Next.js + TailwindCSS
Backend: FastAPI / Express (sometimes else Next.js does the work)
Infra: Docker, Kubernetes (in progress) (and some good free tier things)
Databases: PostgreSQL, Redis, vector DBs
AI/ML: PyTorch (TF is good too :)), Jupyter(free kaggle-colab GPU:)), HF transformers (love it)

🧪 Extras

NOTE

Still a student — but I go full throttle. @screenager for CP everywhere.

Kaggle: DL comps (@tejas242, Never submitted though, Imposter!!)
Competitive Programming:
- Codeforces (Specialist Now, but depends on MOOD)
- LeetCode (Can't wake up)
- AtCoder(Good Questions)
- CodeChef(Nah bro, I didn't get the username)
Writing: Blog at screenager.vercel.app — latest: “Bloom Filters Demystified” (try reading you may like it, atleast the concept)
