+I am Venkata Rao Dechiraju, A Low-Level Perfomance Developer based off 🇮🇳, I heavily fw Compilers, Motorsports and Low Level Programming.
+
+You can find all the weird stuff i do on [my github](https://github.com/veradec/) (Even though I am trying to move to something like codeberg)
+
+I hope you find yourself intriguied after reading through my posts -- that's the intention of the whole website.
+
+
+(Just because I use em-dashes doesn't mean it wasn't written by LLMs, I find the concept of em-dashes rather convenient, and I find myself at positions against LLMs for menial tasks such as writing blog posts, so cheers!)

+I always looked at Teenage Engineering and thought it was pretty cool and given I have a sem break right now, I thought I can make one too. shouldn't be hard right?  
+and after i started composing music, Techno was a genre I always wanted to try but i couldn't, and then an idea popped up, maybe I can create a suite of instruments  
+
+> a Synth  
+       
+> a Drum Sequencer  
+
+> a Vocoder  
+
+and start making techno on them? Sounds nice innit?  
+<br>
+
+# The Design
+I wanted the design to look a little retro 80's esque, and I wanted it to be little simpler (because I will have suite of appliances to generate different sounds, so would rather have one that is simple and does it job well)
+and I drew a few sketches and ended with something that looks very nice
+<div style="display: flex; justify-content: center;">
+  <img src="/dq_sketch.png" alt="Drum Sequencer Rough Sketch" style="transform: rotate(-90deg); width: 50%;" />
+</div>
+
+# The Prototyping
+with the _beautifully_ crafted picture in hand, now the plan is to prototype
+
+
+I needed around 16 Buttons -- which I am going to pull of some keyboards i archived (They paid off innit?).  
+
+I might need to get some more potentiometers and find a way to make a matrix the LEDs and Buttons, Once That is done, Getting the whole thing shouldn't be that tough (atleast I hope it isn't)

+<!-- I am about to order stuff from flyrobo and i found this website called [ifuturetech](https://ifuturetech.org) which i am really unsure is legitimate, but yes. I might order from it, the total cost excluding the MicroProcessor and the Speaker (which i might borrow from a friend for prototyping) come around to 616.   -->
+
+<!-- Including the speaker and the MCU let's call it a even 900? and then the chassis -- with a good cnc machine and alumium -- would roll everything up to a nice 1500 - 1700? That still is cheaper than Teenage Engineering or any SOTA, selling it for around 2400-2500 should make up some good profit. this is getting exciting.   -->
+
+<!-- I look forward to any outliers that would increase the cost by 10x -- i don't see a reason something like this would but yes. -->

+a (hopefully) final revamp of the website, given it's not very ugly to look at now, maybe i'll start writing more here? i ain't sure about that and yes, i'll be copying all the content from the previous website here, so i'll not lose what was
