I like making fun,
interactive things
with code.
I also talk &
write about it.
About Me
I'm Riyaz.17 years old.Curious about everything.
A high schooler from St. Joseph's studying Computer Science, running on curiosity and caffeine. An ex-Gurukulam student.
Nice to meet you
Meet Me
That's me — probably thinking about my next project, or what to cook for dinner, or how clouds work.
A 17-year-old from Chennai who codes, lifts, and questions everything. This portfolio is my digital home — raw, real, and always evolving.
The Beautiful Mess
My brain doesn't know how to rest. I'm either studying fitness, learning cloud systems, editing videos, cooking something random, or thinking about why the world works the way it does.
“My life sounds like a mess, but it's a beautiful mess.”
What I Do
The things I obsess over.
Cloud & Infrastructure
AWS, Azure, GCP, Linux, Docker. Built Ryzen Clouds — my own hosting company. From physical servers to cloud architecture.
Fitness Science
Kinesiology, biomechanics, nutrition. I study muscles like I study code. Training to failure, tracking everything, always pushing.
Development
Full-stack development. Hardware, firmware, networking. Understanding systems from the ground up.
Creative Work
Photography, cinematography, video editing. The visual side of my brain that never stops creating.
Cooking
Nutrition-focused experiments. Making food that actually tastes good while hitting macros.
Always Learning
Singing, dancing, new technologies. My brain sees everything as a skill tree to unlock.
The Origin Story
How it all started.
The Tinkerer
Started by breaking things apart to see how they worked. Modified games, wrote scripts, learned that everything is hackable if you're curious enough.
The Deep Dive
Went from scripts to real programming. Lua, then Python, then everything else. Each language opened a new door.
Building Real Things
Started Ryzen Clouds. Handled real clients, set up real servers, solved real problems at 2 AM. Made mistakes that taught me more than any textbook.
The Gym Became a Classroom
Fitness hit different. Heavy sets, partials, stretch-focused movements. Recovery was bad, nutrition inconsistent, but I studied anatomy and biomechanics like my life depended on it.
Now
All of it merged. Tech, fitness, creativity — not separate paths, but one evolving identity. Still learning. Still breaking things. Still curious.
The Driving Force
Curiosity.
Curiosity is the reason I know cloud engineering at 17.
Curiosity is the reason I understand muscles, tendons, force, and biomechanics.
Curiosity is the reason I improved my physique despite low ferritin and insane training.
Curiosity is the reason I built servers, ran a company, and learned networking.
Curiosity is the reason I learned cooking, video editing, and camera science.
Curiosity is the reason I've changed my dream twenty times — but kept moving.
If someone asks me why I became like this, I genuinely don't know.
All I know is that once I start learning something, I don't stop until I feel like I own it.
The Reality
Being me feels like...
Low ferritin. Still pushing through tough sessions.
Perfectionist. But also chaotic.
Want to master everything. Time slaps me every day.
Try to stay consistent. Life keeps throwing problems.
Burnt out, confused, overwhelmed — but I don't stop.
Every mistake shaped me. Every failure taught me something I'll use forever. I don't hide my past because it literally built the person I am today.
What's Next
The doors are open.
Developer
Not just code. Understanding systems from hardware to cloud, end to end.
Athlete
Not just training. Performing. Competing. Pushing limits that matter.
Creator
Videos, photos, stories. Building things that make people feel something.
All-Rounder
Strong, smart, creative, technical, artistic. All of it. No compromises.
I don't know where life will take me, but I'm ready for all of it.
The doors are wide open, and I'm walking through every single one.
My advice to you.
Be curious. Ask why. Break stuff. Fix stuff. Learn.
Don't be scared of mistakes.
Don't be scared of failing.
Don't be scared of restarting.
