meet-utkarsh

My entire internet presence, compressed into one terminal screen.

No website, no image CDN, no gimmick page — just a card that renders itself in your terminal, line by line, with a face, a résumé, and links you can actually click.

The Pitch

Run the command and watch a terminal window titled @4-thkind/info assemble itself.

The photo of me wipes down the screen in strips. Beside it, a text panel builds itself out of the facts that matter: where I study, my CGPA, the stack I work in, the paper that got accepted to ICML 2026, a hackathon I over-performed at, and the open-source programs I've contributed to.

When the card is done, a fake shell prompt blinks at the bottom. And then the portfolio URL starts to fall apart — characters turning to noise — before re-assembling itself into the real address.

Every line in the Contact section is a live hyperlink. Cmd-click (or Ctrl-click) github.com/4-thkind and your browser opens GitHub. The email, the LinkedIn, the portfolio — all of it is clickable, straight from your terminal. No copy-paste required.

Then you hit any key, and it signs off with later, space cadet ✦.

Why I built it

My portfolio URL lives on a Cloudflare Worker. I got tired of pointing people to a link and hoping they'd remember it. So I turned the intro into something that runs — a command they type once and can't forget, because it's doing its best to be a tiny interactive show.

What the card contains

• A real photo. Not an emoji, not ASCII art. Actual pixels of my face, portrait-cropped so it fills the side panel without squeezing the text.
• A résumé in plain text. Institute, CGPA, tech stack, AI/ML focus, and cloud tools.
• Highlights. The ICML 2026 paper, ET GenAI Hackathon top performer, GSoC and SSoC contributor, Gemini certification.
• Contact. Email, GitHub, LinkedIn — all OSC 8 hyperlinks.
• Portfolio. The URL, glitch-revealed at the end.
• A fake title bar. A nod to the terminal frame, with a + = X that deliberately does nothing.
• A fake prompt. [from ashes i claim ~]$ — a one-line flourish. Don't try to type at it.
