About Me
I’m a Senior Software Developer from Bengaluru, India, who has worked remote jobs (US) for the last 6 years.
I believe in optimizing my workstation and work flow, which has led me to spend a lot of time (more than I care to admit) on optimizing my nixos, neovim and tmux configurations. I believe in planning for extensibility before writing code so that no surprise 2AM goose hits me on the face, but let’s be honest, that’s never a guarantee but it’s worth it to give it an honest shot.
This page is my little corner of the internet wildlands. You can expect some random ramblings and some random projects (my programming wild oats) sown here.
