A little about me.

I’m Gaurav, a Computer Science student 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. Right now I’m building scalable backends and obsessing over latency.
