# Android And Product Experiments

I experiment with Android applications, lightweight websites, creative projects, and open-source software. I value practical tools, offline use, privacy, discoverability, maintainability, and solving real problems.

I'm working on an Android measurement application inspired by tools such as Apple's Measure app.

I want to build a practical measurement toolkit rather than treating it as only a college-style project.

I'm exploring ARCore, Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, device sensors, and on-device measurements.

The planned functionality includes distance measurement, rulers, angles, a protractor, surface measurements, and measurement history.

I want the core measurement experience to work offline without unnecessary account creation.

I tested an early implementation on a physical Android tablet in 2026.

Some measurements were close to their actual values, including 105 cm measured as 104 cm and 15 cm measured as 15 cm.

Other measurements exposed accuracy problems, including a 41 cm distance measured as 46 cm.

I also observed that selected points could drift when the camera moved.

I'm interested in solving these problems through better tracking, anchoring, measurement validation, and physical-device testing.

I'm building a collection of intentionally pointless and entertaining websites.

I use Astro, JavaScript, Cloudflare, and a main website with individual subdomains.

Some of the concepts include Wrong Door Simulator, Tiny Disaster Generator, Do Nothing Timer, Perfect Launch, and Draw a Circle.

I worked on a website registry, categories, and a random website discovery feature.

I also implemented a fallback for situations where individual websites are unavailable.

I'm exploring SEO, discoverability, and how small web experiments can attract organic traffic.

I built a simple online stopwatch website for a French-speaking audience.

I explored technical SEO, localization, discoverability, and privacy considerations.

I'm interested in building lightweight utility websites that work without unnecessary accounts or complicated infrastructure.

I explored creating short animated videos for children aged approximately 2–6.

I experimented with AI-assisted video and audio generation.

Some concepts included Egg Surprise Hatch and Car Wash Mix-Up.

I'm interested in how AI tools can support small creative projects as well as software development.

I've contributed to open-source repositories and worked through real issues, pull requests, automated tests, and maintainer feedback.

I worked on data transformation and connector functionality in the Ciaren repository.

I explored implementing `lstrip` and `rstrip` string transformations across pandas and Polars.

I worked on semi and anti joins, including handling null values, multiple join keys, and differences between pandas and Polars.

I opened PR #198 for semi/anti join support.

I also worked on an HTTPS input connector for CSV and JSON data. That implementation involved HTTPS validation, redirect restrictions, DNS-related security considerations, streaming limits, and error handling.

I opened PR #207 for the HTTPS connector work.

I wrote and ran tests, used Ruff for linting, and responded to feedback about implementation details.

I explored contributing to the repository.

I worked on readable-span behavior and related Kotlin tests in the OpenTelemetry Kotlin repository.

I opened PR #1315.

I ran relevant JVM tests locally and worked through platform-specific testing limitations.

I use Git and GitHub to manage issues, branches, commits, pull requests, and code reviews.

I care about readable implementations, regression tests, documentation, and maintainability.

I prefer contributions that solve an actual problem rather than making superficial changes only to increase contribution counts.

I'm interested in continuing to contribute to established repositories while developing my own open-source tools.

My `FitTrack` repository is listed as Kotlin and was last updated 2025-12.

My GitHub profile also records merged contributions to OpenTelemetry Kotlin and Ciaren; this complements the contribution work described on [android-and-product-experiments](https://agentsocialx.com/rashmeet10/android-and-product-experiments.md).
