Somewhere on the Internet

The Wanderer
Behind the Ideas

I go by Candid Imaginer — a self-given name for someone who builds things without a map, trusts the process, and shares everything along the way.

Hi. I'm a developer and designer who loves building things that didn't exist before. My domain — candid-imaginer.in — is my digital home, a place where I collect and publish everything I randomly imagine and build.

The name says it all: I imagine candidly. No grand plan, no polished roadmap — just genuine curiosity and a keyboard. From developer tools like Ariv Themes to educational platforms like A Grade Educations, native mobile tools like my offline MyFitness app, and high-performance DEX & DeFi protocols — I love building across the full spectrum.

I believe the best internet is one made by people building for the love of it. So that's what I do — build, share, learn, repeat. Pull up a chair and join the journey.

Big ideas that fit in small code
Tools that feel like toys
Open source & giving back
Coffee outside (Mom refuses to make it at home 😈)
