a personal note / mumbai, india

hi, i'm manas.

an electronics engineer from mumbai who ended up somewhere between product, code, and figuring shit out. i build tools, break things, obsess over random ideas, and occasionally turn them into something useful.

this is where i keep the things that make it past the chaos

ABOUT ME

About me.

FROM MUMBAI · ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING · OPS

I like difficult problems, fast experiments, and figuring things out from first principles. My engineering background taught me to think in systems; working in startups taught me that the interesting part begins when there’s no system yet.

I’m drawn to ideas with the potential to become much bigger than they start echnology, businesses, and products that solve real problems. I’d rather build something, put it in people’s hands, and learn from what happens than spend too long theorising about it.

Some of these started because I needed them. Some were just fun to try.

SMALL TOOLS

A few things I keep handy.

Check your IP, look up a DNS record, or hash a string here.

What's my IP?

See the public address and network details this connection shows to the outside world.

Only contacts ipapi.co when you click.
02DNS

Look up a domain

Ask Google Public DNS for A, AAAA, MX, CNAME, or TXT records.

Requests go to dns.google when you search.
