I’m Sushil, a computer science student drawn to the craft of building software. I like turning complex ideas into tools people can actually use, often with a little inspiration from Japan.

About
I’m a CS undergraduate at SRMIST in Chennai, specialising in Software Engineering. I’m interested in what goes into building good software — the architecture, the decisions behind it, and the details that make it reliable.
So far, I’ve worked on web applications, real-time systems, and tools designed to solve practical problems. I enjoy working across the stack, trying out unfamiliar technologies, and figuring out how things work beyond just getting them to run.
Outside of software, I’m learning Japanese through the JLPT track and currently preparing for N3, while working towards an opportunity to study at Waseda University in Tokyo. Japan and Japanese aesthetics are also a big influence on my projects, shaping the ideas I explore and the way I approach design.
I’m focused on building better software, strengthening my engineering skills, and taking on projects that push me to learn something new.

Japan
It started with
Anime, manga, and films
I’m drawn to Japanese storytelling, from the worlds and characters in anime and manga to the films that tell quieter, more grounded stories.
Japanese music
Japanese music has been a constant part of my interest in the culture, from the songs I discover through anime to artists and genres I find on my own.
Shinto, folklore, and mythology
I’m interested in Japanese mythology, the kami of Shinto, and the folklore behind them. Kagutsuchi, the kami of fire, even inspired the name of one of my software projects.
What keeps me here
Learning Japanese
I’m studying Japanese through the JLPT track and currently preparing for N3, working on grammar, vocabulary, kanji, and the ability to understand the language beyond translations.
Architecture and landscapes
I’m drawn to the contrast between Tokyo’s dense streets and city lights, traditional architecture, and quieter landscapes. These visual influences often find their way into my projects and design choices.
Everyday culture and traditions
Beyond the media, I’m curious about everyday life in Japan — its customs, social norms, seasonal traditions, and the small details that make a place feel different from home.
I haven’t been yet. I’m working towards an opportunity to study at Waseda, which would be my first time there.
