THE ART OF THINKING AHEAD

Every move.
With intent.

I'm Dhanush. I turn complex problems into useful software, then share what I learn along the way.

ENGINEERING + SECURITY + OPEN SOURCE

♞

Curiosity is the opening.
Building is the next move.

THE KNIGHT'S PERSPECTIVE01 / 64
YOUR MOVE

Knight on c3. Choose a lit square.

Different paths. Deliberate decisions.

01 / SELECTED MOVES

Ideas into impact.

A few things I've put into the world.
Open source. Built to be explored.

Showing all 4 projects

01 / SECURITY

Supply-chain defense

lockcheck ↗

A zero-dependency Node.js CLI that reviews lockfile changes for suspicious dependency patterns.

The thinking behind it +

Typosquats, registry anomalies, integrity changes and install scripts, surfaced before they reach production.

Node.js / CLI / DevSecOpsExplore source ↗
02 / AI

Adaptive AI decisions

TachyRoute ↗

An open-source decision engine for typed choices, scores and booleans instead of generated text.

The thinking behind it +

Explores adaptive early-exit computing and attention-based evidence extraction for explainable routing.

Python / Machine learningExplore source ↗
03 / SECURITY

Safer agent workflows

agentcheck ↗

A CLI that scans AI coding-agent configuration files for hidden instructions and risky patterns.

The thinking behind it +

Checks instruction files, invisible Unicode, dangerous commands and MCP configurations. Findings support review, not a safety guarantee.

Node.js / Static analysisExplore source ↗
04 / WEB

Peer-to-peer by design

OpenDrop ↗

A file-sharing tool for direct device-to-device transfers over your local network.

The thinking behind it +

WebRTC data channels carry local transfers, with a lightweight signaling server for connection setup and a separate share-link mode.

02 / BEHIND THE MOVES

A builder's mind.
A player's curiosity.

I like understanding how things work. And finding out how they could work better.

My work spans software engineering, cybersecurity, DevSecOps and open-source tools. I write about technology, make videos and learn by building in public.

Beyond the keyboard: chess, piano, mouth organ, dance and solving cubes. Different ways to keep the mind moving.

THE PERSONAL PLAYBOOK♚
01

Build useful things.

Security tools, AI experiments and web experiences that start with a real problem.

02

Leave knowledge open.

Source code, technical writing and video. A useful discovery is worth sharing.

03

Stay a student.

Keep asking why. Try a different angle. Make the next version better.
