Background
Biomedical engineering and computer science
A concise origin story: education, medical and scientific interests, and the throughline connecting research, software, and lived experience.
Personal site / journey log
Akash Chaurasia
A public front door, a chronological record of the gene therapy chapter, and a place for the work, writing, videos, and notes that make the story legible.
Public
Background, work, selected writing
Journey
Vlog-first updates by phase and date
Private
Raw journal and sensitive notes later
Public homepage
The site can introduce the whole person first: health, science, software, systems, storytelling, and the reasons this record exists.
Work
Research, projects, and software
A lightweight portfolio for selected projects, demos, writing, GitHub links, papers, and anything that still feels current.
Writing
Plain-language context
Short essays that help people understand the treatment path without turning the homepage into a medical record.
Start here
A simple beginning for visitors who want to understand what is happening, why the videos exist, and where to go next.
Why
Make the story easier to follow
Keep the main narrative clear for family, friends, collaborators, and future-you, with the sensitive parts intentionally separated.
Format
Vlogs first, summaries beside them
Each update can pair a video with a short written summary, dates, tags, and links to deeper context pages.
Structure
Phase, date, and theme
Visitors should be able to browse chronologically or jump by topic: preparation, collection, treatment, recovery, logistics, reflections.
GT timeline
The gene therapy timeline lives behind named passcodes. Each code can be generated, labeled, and revoked from the owner console.
Timeline
/gt/
Journal entries and videos are arranged chronologically after a valid passcode unlocks the page.
Passcodes
One code per person or group
Each passcode has a name, status, use count, and last-used timestamp.
Owner
/admin/
The admin console is intended for Cloudflare Access login with the owner email.
Access layers
The static prototype shows the intended boundaries. Anything private should move behind server-side auth before real media or medical details are added.
Homepage and edited writing
Visible to anyone, search-friendly, and safe to share widely.
- Bio, work, writing, selected overview
- Carefully edited summaries
- No raw private medical details
GT timeline
For trusted people: videos, journal entries, contextual notes, and treatment-phase organization.
- GT timeline route
- Named passcodes managed from the owner console
- Organized by phase and date
- Video hosting can be added cleanly
Private journal
Raw drafts, unedited media, feelings, and specifics that should never be protected by frontend code alone.
- Requires real account auth
- Separate from guest access
- Not rendered for public visitors
