Hey, I'm Akash Priyadarshi. A systems developer specializing in native mobile architectures, Rust command line tooling, and robust local-first software engineering.
Developing high-performance Android tools, native platform wrappers, and cross-compiled Rust utilities.
Pre-compiled native TDLib (Telegram Database Library) binaries for Android with JNI bindings. Eliminates manual compilation and raw JNI overhead. Used across multiple Telegram client projects.
A privacy-first, offline-capable local cloud storage solution. Features robust synchronization protocols, end-to-end encryption, and seamless multi-device access.
A high-performance media gallery app built around tdlib-android. Implements blazing fast media indexing, intelligent caching, and a premium fluid UI with glassmorphism effects.
Why corporate architectural patterns fail solo developers, and what to use instead to maximize leverage.
How I compiled native TDLib binaries and wrapped them with clean JNI interfaces to create a frictionless Android development experience.
