Hola! I'm Rijfas,

I'm a developer, mentor, and hobbyist YouTuber based in Calicut, IN. Currently, I work as a Software Engineer at WilliamsLea, where I contribute to innovative digital solutions. In addition to my main role, I am also the Tech Founder at EasyBroker, where I build the technology behind the popular bachelor rental platform, alongside it's co-founders Alim and Sarath. I enjoy collaborating with early-stage startups, friends, and diving into personal projects. This site showcases a blend of my professional and personal work—some still in progress, but all driven by curiosity, persistence, and a bit of scrappiness. Feel free to explore the links below if you're curious about what I'm up to.

Something Extra if you are interested,

My journey into the tech world began at a young age, back when my fascination with the sky was almost as boundless as my curiosity. As a kid, I was utterly captivated by anything that could fly—helicopters, airplanes, the works. By the time I was 8, I was certain I was going to be a pilot. Fast forward a bit, and my dad gifted me a Samsung tablet, which completely blew my mind. The power of technology in my hands was something I couldn’t comprehend. I quickly dove into aviation-themed games, trying to replicate my dream of flying. That was when I stumbled upon Infinite Flight—a flight simulator that was pretty advanced and had all kinds of liveries. But here’s the catch—it was a paid app.

Being the problem-solver I was, I wasn’t about to let a little thing like payment stop me. I started scouring the web for hacks to get the game for free, experimenting with third-party stores and downloading cracked APKs. But no dice—license verification would always ruin the party. That’s when I got my hands dirty with tools like Lucky Patcher and Freedom (the emulation wizard). Through trial and error, I managed to bypass the payment gatekeeper, but in doing so, I accidentally unlocked a whole new obsession: tech, cracking, and the art of reverse engineering.

This led me to Google ‘how to start programming’—a search that would shift the course of my life. I found an eBook on Java programming, but honestly, I didn’t understand a single thing. Yet, as they say, one door closes and another opens. I stumbled upon HTML, the foundation of the web, and I was hooked. From there, I found an app called "Webmaster Lite" that allowed me to code HTML directly on my Android device. That led to CSS, then JavaScript, and before I knew it, I was in the wild, vast world of coding.

The real turning point came when I found a guy named Mike from Jiraffe Academy (sporting a NASA shirt, no less). He introduced me to HTML basics, and later I picked up C programming. From there, I went full throttle—experimenting with different languages, creating websites, and setting up local servers to clone platforms like Facebook within my network. As I dove deeper into Linux and learned about pentesting, I started setting up a pentesting toolkit on my mobile device. I demonstrated exploits on my friends, which felt like magic, and began building my skills as a budding hacker.

2019 was a game-changer. Google released Flutter, and they were giving away a free course. Naturally, I jumped in. I was astounded by the things I could build using Flutter and Dart. But, alas, my 4GB RAM potato laptop couldn’t handle Android development, so frustration set in, and my focus began to shift.

But then, the universe conspired in my favor. After I completed my +2, my mom gifted me a gaming laptop—perfect for gaming (which I promptly did for a while). But once I had conquered every game I’d wanted to play, I realized the gaming thrill was short-lived. I rekindled my Flutter obsession and started building apps to solve problems in my everyday life. I shifted to React for cross-platform development since publishing apps on Android and iOS was expensive at the time.

Soon after, I began doing freelance work for family and friends. My skill set had expanded to the point where I could build practically anything for anyone, and I quickly gained recognition for my versatility. The story has a lot more chapters, and while I’d love to keep writing, well… I think I’ve reached my limit for today. There’s still so much more, but I’ll save that for another time.
