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.

PRODUCTIVITY EXTENSIONS
APPS THAT BRIDGE GAPS

BUILT TO
BE USED.

SOFTWARE MEETS REALITY.
// SKILLS

The stack
behind the
things I build.

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