- [Building c2proof: C to Rust Migration with Verification](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-c2proof/): A verifier-first c2rust wrapper. Give it a flat C repo, and it outputs a compiling Rust port PR alongside a mathematical proof artifact.
- [Building code2paper: Turn Any Codebase into an Academic Paper](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-code2paper/): A stdlib Python CLI and Claude Agent Skill to convert an entire codebase into a readable academic paper in Typst, LaTeX, PDF, and HTML.

- [Building neet-cbt - Replicating the NTA Exam Interface, Offline](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-neet-cbt/): 22 lakh students sit NEET every year. In 2027 it goes computer-based. I built the exact NTA interface as a free offline PWA so nobody practises it cold.
- [Building repomap - Answering "What's In This Repo" in Budget Tokens](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-repomap/): Every agent session starts with the same question. I built the third piece of the read→search→orient pipeline — a repo map that tells you what exists without burning the context window.

- [Building rustygrep - Fast Grep with AI-Native Output](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-rustygrep/): LLM agents run thousands of grep calls per session. Every token counts. I built a token-compressed grep that cuts output by 60-95%.
- [Building zcat - A 179KB Cat Replacement in Zig](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-zcat/): cat is the most aliased command in every developer's shell. bat is 15MB. I wanted cat that fits in a kernel module.

- [Building tdlib-android - TDLib Without the Compile](https://akashpriyadarshi.vercel.app/blog/building-tdlib-android/): Compiling TDLib for Android is a 4-hour NDK nightmare that crashes on low-RAM machines. I moved the whole build to GitHub Actions and shipped prebuilt AARs for all 4 ABIs.
