Building dictionaries: Open data, Open source
summary
Built two open-data dictionaries: Olam (seeded 2010, now ~60,000 English headwords and 125,000 Malayalam definitions, ~2M monthly users) and Alar (Kannada–English, launched 2020 from a 40‑year manuscript). Publishes a reusable FOSS stack dictpress (V1 released 2022) using Postgres tsvector tokens, a phonetic approach that became IndicPhone phonetic hashing (three hashes for broad/medium/specific matches, ported to kn/ml), and distributes under ODbL open-database license.
