The Story Behind ASTERIQ

Why * ?

The asterisk (*) is more than a symbol. In programming, it represents power, universality, and infinite possibility. ASTERIQ embodies this philosophy — a wildcard in every tech field.

The Power of *

In every language and system, the asterisk carries special meaning. ASTERIQ channels this universality.

SQL Wildcard

SELECT *

In SQL, * means 'everything' — select all, match all, universal access

Pointer Magic

*ptr

In C/C++, * dereferences pointers — the gateway to memory and power

Regex Match All

.*

In regex, .* matches anything — ultimate flexibility and adaptation

Glob Patterns

*.js

In shell, * matches any file — wildcard across systems

Founder & Developer

Final year Computer Science student with a passion for building tools that matter. From mobile apps to system utilities, from AI integrations to developer tools — I believe in creating software that works universally, adapts seamlessly, and stays minimal.

ASTERIQ is my vision of what technology should be — a wildcard that fits anywhere, enhances everything, and empowers developers to build without boundaries.

The Journey

Started

The Vision

As a computer science student, I saw fragmentation across tech domains. I wanted to build tools that work everywhere.

Building

First Projects

The Goal

To be the wildcard layer in every tech stack - the * that matches and enhances everything.
