Hi, I'm Megh Badonia — a developer from India with a deep interest in developer tooling, design systems, and automation. I build software that helps people work faster and think less about boilerplate.

My work sits at the intersection of functionality and aesthetics. I believe great tools should be invisible — they should get out of your way and let you do your best work.

I'm an open-source contributor and maintainer. My published CLI tool mcugen lets developers generate Material Design color palettes from images or hex values — inspired by pywal and Google's Material Theming system.

When I'm not writing code, I'm exploring new design languages, reading about systems thinking, or experimenting with dotfile customization and Linux ricing.

Skills & Technologies

◈
JavaScript / Node.js
Core language for all my tooling work. Comfortable with async patterns, file system APIs, CLI argument parsing, and npm package publishing workflows.
◉
CLI Tool Development
Designing and building command-line interfaces with clean UX, argument validation, error handling, hooks systems, and automated update notifications.
◎
Material Design Systems
Deep familiarity with Google's Material Color Utilities. Generating dynamic color roles, dark/light schemes, and integrating palettes into apps and dotfiles.
▣
Image Processing
Using sharp for high-performance image manipulation and pixel extraction, color quantization algorithms, and dominant color scoring from visual inputs.
▦
Template Engines
Custom Mustache-like variable interpolation systems, conditional rendering, directory-based target management, and pre/post shell hook execution.
⬡
Git & Open Source
Version control, semantic versioning, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, automated npm publishing pipelines, and changelog management.
