01 · About

I build fast, reliable software —
and I sweat the details.

I'm Gaurav — a junior studying Computer Science at The University of Alabama. I've shipped production Go and Python services and React dashboards used by real teams. I love systems that are legible, measurable, and a little bit weird.

Currently

Building scalable backends & obsessing over latency.
