Ankit Chetri / Debyte404

DebyteExpo

I build systems with a heart for whimsy, with a designer's eye and a shader-brained heart i can make websites, apps and architectures. the world lacks whimsy.

Origin

Builder before job title

I am Ankit Chetri, also Debyte, and I keep building things that leak between software and objects: web apps, bots, hardware toys, shader experiments, and tiny systems that teach me back.

Influence

Sebastian Lague Legacy

I love the Sebastian Lague kind of curiosity: explain the machine, visualize the invisible, make the hard thing playful, then ship the weird prototype before doubt catches up.

Texture

Cinema, anime, cats, food, sawdust

I want this place to feel like my desk after midnight: anime poster energy, sawdust, baking notes, shader tabs, cat interruptions, and cinematography sneaking into the way I frame code.

Selected builds

Projects as little worlds.

Shader notebook

Unity Compute Shader Raytracing Lab

I wanted the screen to feel like a lab bench where light leaves fingerprints.

I built this as my little photon playground: compute threads per pixel, camera rays, sphere hits, GPU buffers, and materials that make math glow.

Pocket hardware

Meantendo

I wanted a pocket console that looked like it escaped from a weekend workshop.

I packed a tiny arcade creature into an ESP32: joystick, buttons, buzzer, ST7735 display, menus, and games that feel too stubborn to stay on breadboard wires.

Win98 work sim

ShadowIntern

I wanted the UI to feel like it was quietly judging my productivity from inside a CRT.

I made a fake workstation that remembers your grind, pokes at burnout, hands out XP, mutters through procedural audio, and slowly turns work into a tiny universe.

I use these when code needs a body, a scene, or a small machine to haunt.

Real work

Production gets its own table.

Roles where I shipped interfaces, debugged real product flows, and learned what survives outside the lab.

Founding Frontend Lead Engineer

NovelPedia

I shipped 21+ merged PRs across production reader, author-dashboard, and admin-panel surfaces, the kind of work where polish and patience both matter.

NovelPedia

I built responsive author-dashboard interfaces with Next.js, TailwindCSS, Django REST APIs, and a lot of practical debugging under real product pressure.
