Software Geek 👾
“You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” From crafting monoliths to orchestrating cloud-native architectures with Golang, I embody the philosophy of being a jack of all trades, master of some. Currently exploring myself in this world of distributed systems, I want to prove that versatility and depth can go hand in hand. My journey spans multiple domains: mastering competitive programming (1900+ LeetCode rating), contributing to open source projects, and architecting Distributed Systems. I am comfortable in playing across the stack and I care less about buzzword. The things that seem eye catchy to me are observability, cloud native technologies, scalability, caching..........
