Full-stack web developer exploring systems programming. Currently building Kronos, a human-readable programming language in C, and forgekit, a CLI toolkit in Rust.
My story
Hello! I'm Naveed, a self-taught developer from the Maldives, currently based in Malaysia.
I've been building with code since 2017—Discord bots, e-commerce platforms, APIs, the whole stack evolution from PHP/MySQL to React/TypeScript/Next.js. No CS degree. Just building, breaking, and figuring it out.
These days I'm deep in systems programming. Currently building Kronos, a programming language with a bytecode VM and LSP, to learn C. Also, building ForgeKit in Rust. I love backend work—APIs, databases, making things talk to each other.
8 years of building in the shadows. Finally shipping in public.
Projects
Things I've built from scratch. No tutorials, no templates.

kronos
A complete programming language with bytecode VM, garbage collector, and LSP. Human-readable syntax inspired by Python and Perl.
Custom virtual machine executing compiled bytecode with stack-based operations
Mark-and-sweep GC managing memory allocation and preventing leaks
LSP implementation for editor integration with autocomplete and diagnostics
Open source with contributors building features and fixing bugs
forgekit
A blazing-fast CLI toolkit for file conversions. Built in Rust for performance, safety, and zero-cost abstractions.
Rust's zero-cost abstractions and fearless concurrency
Intuitive command-line interface with subcommands and flags
Pluggable architecture supporting multiple file formats
Rust's ownership model guarantees memory safety at compile time
