Sources confirmed Thursday that local developer Samarth Ryan Edward has been building AI tools, fullstack platforms, desktop apps, browser games, productivity systems, and simulators — sometimes all in the same semester.
"I don't want to do one thing," Edward reportedly said. "I want to do everything." Nobody in the room disagreed.
"I want to do everything. AI. Fullstack. Games. Tools. All of it."
— S.R. Edward, personal statement
Developer known online as sammy_ryed has produced a catalogue that refuses to stay in one lane: AI mood detection, apocalypse simulators, browser games, CPU schedulers, translation desktops, roommate finders, productivity systems, and logic simulators.
The projects include MusAIc, Bunker, Bhandi, BurstTime Chronicles, and FlatMate. Each one a different genre. Same unhinged energy throughout.
Active competitor on LeetCode, Codeforces, HackerRank — platforms where devs voluntarily give themselves headaches for sport.

Samarth Ryan Edward is a B.Tech CSE student at SRMIST (2028) who refuses to be put in a box. He builds AI apps, fullstack platforms, desktop tools, browser games, productivity systems, and OS-level simulators — sometimes all in the same month.
His quirky sense of humor seeps, unprompted, into everything he touches. He is not a backend developer. He is not a frontend developer. He builds things. All kinds of things. Constantly.
"I believe there's always a smarter, funnier way to solve a problem."
— S.R. Edward, personal statement"My quirky sense of humor and creativity often seeps into my work, making it truly one of a kind."
