## Headline

Graphics Engineer \(prev\. Robotics/IOT/Automation\) \| Snaptrude \| Gamedev hobbyist \| Created bot\-forge\.com

## About

I'm a targeted learner, pioneer and a polymath working primarily in the fields of 3D, Robotics/IOT and Productivity tools\. Have worked in deep tech startups, delivering products and leading teams\. Built solutions for multiple large organisations and deployed systems at scale\. Also been a founding team member of a YC startup\. I practice tech not just as a profession but also as a hobby\. I worship my work and strive to produce quality results with constant improvement\. I can quickly pick up any technology stack and master it within a matter of months\. I also love sharing my knowledge though various content channels and have some of my work open sourced\. As a self taught professional I'd like to be the mentor I never had\! My current tech stack is wide spectrum and fluid\. I have built applications targeting platforms such as embedded Linux \(Raspberry Pi/BB\), Bare metal\(Arduino,ESP, Stm32, TI\) to Desktop \(Linux/Windows/Mac\) and Web\. I have primarily worked with Clients on the Web\(ReactJS\) and embedded \(Python/Rust\)\. But I have extensive experience deploying NodeJS/Rust applications on both Monolithic and Serverless platforms\. Have worked with both NoSQL\(MongoDB\) and SQL\(Postgress, MySQL\) databases\. Recently I have been building applications in 3D/AR/XR on the web using libraries like ThreeJS and game engines via Webassembly\. I envision being able to build frameworks and libraries that make up mission critical core systems and/or high performance real time multiplayer systems that eventually interact with the real world\. Feel free to reach out to me if you have something exciting\!
