About

Hello! I'm Akram Zaki, an IT professional working on personal and open-source projects. I started this experiment to benchmark how much AI assistants can increase productivity, and also to pinpoint the downsides of using AI assistants especially in a corporate environment.

Part of my experiment is to make sure most of what I develop would run flawlessly on a Raspberry Pi 4/5 device, to demonstrate it's within almost anyone's reach.

This is my hub for deployed apps, GitHub repositories, and ways to connect.

Featured Projects

• Nonogram Editor – A simple puzzle editor built with Svelte/SvelteKit and FastAPI backend.
• Breach Lookup Service – Look up multiple sources for breaches. You must own the account you're looking up.

Repositories

• Nonogram Editor repository – Source code for the Nonogram Editor.
• FlatForge repository – A modular library to validate flat files of fixed length or delimited format.
• Breach-ingestor repository – A resilient, prefix-sharded ingestion pipeline for large static breach dumps (e.g. AntiPublic), optimized for low-resource environments (e.g., Raspberry Pi + NAS/SSD).
• Breach-lookup repository – A concept service to provide lookup against breach data in a secure and private manner. This is an extension to the breach-ingestor repo.
