I BUILD.I BREAK.I FIX.
CSE @ VIT VELLORE

I like building things
that feel real.
Stuff people actually use,
not just things that
look done.

BEHAVIOR > BUZZWORDS

I care more about how
something behaves
than how it's described.

UNDER LOAD.
UNDER PRESSURE.
UNDER MISTAKES.
PHILOSOPHY

BACKEND
SYSTEMS
PERFORMANCE

I figure out why
things break and
make them break less.

HARDWARE / SYSTEMS

Sometimes I drift into
hardware, where
software stops being
abstract, physics fights
back and things fail
in the real world.

The stack
behind the
things I build.

I work across the stack
to design, build and ship
systems that are fast,
reliable and scalable.
