About Me

Hi, I'm Swarup Baral, a software developer. I was born on December 8, 2005, and I am currently 20 years old. I started learning how to program because I wanted to understand how computers and software work. Since then, I have spent a lot of time writing scripts, learning different tools, and building useful apps.

Education & Background

I am studying for my graduation at Ravenshaw University, Cuttack. Before this, I did my school education at the Blind School, Cuttack. I am visually impaired, but I do not let that get in the way of my goals. Instead, I focus on building my skills in web development, tool writing, and making software accessible for everyone.

My Journey in Audio Game Development

One of my favorite areas of development is building audio-based games. Standard games depend completely on graphics, which makes them unplayable for blind or visually impaired players. Audio games use sound cues, environmental spatialization, and music to create immersive experiences instead of visual screens.

I actively use the NVGT (Non-Visual Gaming Toolkit) framework to write and design these games. I am working on creating multi-player capabilities, audio environments, and gameplay systems that are accessible and fun. My goal is to build games that anyone can play and enjoy solely using their hearing and keyboard.

Technical Skills

  • Programming Languages: Python, JavaScript, C#
  • Web Projects: Astro, React.js, Node.js, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap
  • App Development: WinUI 3, Desktop Programs, API Development
  • Automation: System script writing, AWS, deployment tools
  • Game Frameworks: NVGT for accessible audio game programming

Projects & Contributions

Some of the tools and projects I have worked on:

  • AutoUpgradeManager: A script to automate system updates.
  • NVGT Audio Games: Developing logic and audio code for accessible gaming.
  • Audio Gaming Platform: Custom audio multiplayer environments.

Interests & Hobbies

When I am not coding, I enjoy spending time on my other hobbies:

  • Reading & Stories: I love mystery, horror, romance, and science fiction.
  • Immersive Audio Books: Listening to audio stories on Pratilipi, pocketFM, kukuFM, and Eight App.
  • Music: Listening to my favorite singers, Arijit Singh and Shreya Ghoshal.
  • Audio Production: Editing and mixing audio files.

My Goals

My main goal is to make sure that technology is open and easy to use for everyone. I plan to continue improving my skills in full-stack development, server management, and audio game design. I want to build simple, helpful, and inclusive digital solutions.
