About Me
This is the official personal website of Simarpreet Singh. I am a student developer with a strong interest in software engineering, open-source contributions, and system administration.
This website showcases my software projects, documents my technical learning, and shares open-source work that I have built or contributed to. The purpose of this website is to share my projects, track development progress over time, and publish technical knowledge I gain while working with different technologies. Everything published here is original and reflects my own work and learning journey.
Why This Website Exists
I created this website to serve as a personal portfolio and a transparent record of my software development work. It documents the projects I am actively building, the technologies I am learning, and the challenges I encounter along the way.
Rather than relying solely on social platforms or code repositories, this site gives visitors a complete picture of what I do and why I do it. It allows visitors to learn about my projects in detail, understand the technology choices behind them, and follow my progress as a developer.
The site also functions as a learning tool for me. Building and maintaining it teaches me about deployment, web performance, analytics, security, and advertising integration on a real production website.
Projects
Tenberal News
Tenberal News is an independent news platform that I developed and maintain. It provides articles and news content through a custom-built website designed for a modern reading experience.
The project demonstrates full-stack web development, including content management, responsive design, and reliable hosting. I built the platform from the ground up to deliver independent articles and updates while practising real-world deployment and site management.

FOSSil Chat
FOSSil Chat is an open-source communication project that I am actively developing. It focuses on privacy, decentralisation, and community-driven software development.
The project aims to provide secure communication tools without relying on proprietary infrastructure. I am building the backend using Rust for performance and reliability, while the interface is built with modern web technologies. The purpose of FOSSil Chat is to explore privacy-respecting communication protocols and contribute practical open-source tools for the community.
