About

I'm a software developer based in Gandhinagar. I work at Odoo on the Point of Sale, which turns out to be a very good place to learn: the software has to keep working offline, sync across a room full of devices, talk to hardware nobody documents properly, and never lose a transaction. Each of those constraints teaches you something a tutorial can't.

Most of what I've shipped there is about making an existing system better rather than starting a new one - refactoring the POS codebase so features take less time to build, wiring up integrations with delivery platforms, and cutting response times on datasets big enough that the naive approach stops working.

I came to this sideways. I did a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering at NIT Surat and spent most of it writing code that had nothing to do with my degree, plus around 700 algorithm problems on LeetCode. The problem-solving habit stuck.

Outside of work I build small developer tools - usually to remove some repeated annoyance from my own day - and write up whatever I had to figure out the hard way. That's what the writing section is for.
