i'm aashish, a 22yo cse grad (sep '20), from uttarakhand, currently in pune. i build web products and the infrastructure underneath them.
most of my time goes to backend and devops: designing apis, wiring up databases, and making deploys uneventful. i contribute to open source and read more production post-mortems than i probably should.
i care about the boring parts: error budgets, reproducible builds, the gap between "works on my machine" and "works at 3am". confident through restraint, monochrome by choice.

Selected projects
flagship builds, traced end to end: the problem, the shape of the system, the stack, and what it actually does in production.
A booking page and a portfolio contact form are somehow two separate paid subscriptions. That felt like one API's job.
One typed ConnectRPC contract, spoken as gRPC or plain REST. A Go backend syncs Google and Outlook calendars; an embeddable widget catches form submissions, filters the spam, and forwards the rest. Still building it — in the open.
Two people type in the same document, and one of them loses. Most apps quietly pick a winner.
WebSockets fan every edit out live, a conflict-free merge decides what sticks, and Postgres remembers it. No locks, no lost keystrokes.
Open source
public repositories and upstream pull requests: the parts of the system anyone can read, fork, and audit.
