THE DEFAULT SETTING
Always curious.
I ask too many questions, look things up for no particular reason, and enjoy going down rabbit holes just to see where they lead.
The best ideas usually start with “what if?”
A PERSONAL CORNER OF THE INTERNET — PUNE, INDIA
A little curious.Always creating.
Hey, I’m Gaurav. I write software, watch a lot of movies, think about how things work, and occasionally turn a random thought into something real.
Not a résumé. Just a little more of me.
SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE NEXT IDEA AND THE NEXT FILM.

01 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
I like understanding things.
Then making my own.
I’m a software engineer, but that’s just one part of the story. Before any job title, I’m someone who gets excited by a new question, an interesting film, or an idea scribbled down at the wrong time.
My favourite way to learn is to build. I enjoy untangling complicated problems, experimenting with different approaches, and making things that feel surprisingly simple in the end.
I've also spent time teaching engineering mathematics. Explaining a tricky idea until it finally clicks for someone else is a kind of magic I never get tired of.
The slightly more professional version02 / THE LITTLE THINGS
A few things that
make me, me.
Because there’s a lot more to a person than the things they put on LinkedIn.

AFTER THE LAPTOP CLOSES
A good film, always.
I love watching movies. A great story can stay in my head for days, and sometimes sends me searching for a new idea of my own.
Stories have a way of changing perspectives.

MY FAVOURITE EXPERIMENT
Making things.
I genuinely like creating software: little tools, bigger systems, odd experiments, and the occasional idea that starts with absolutely no plan.
Some things work. All of them teach me something.
A FEW FAMILIAR SCENES✳
01
One more question
before I sleep.
02
A film I’ll keep
thinking about.
03
Too many tabs,
one new idea.
04
“What if I just
build it?”
03 / SOME THINGS I'VE MADE
Ideas I followed
all the way through.
No endless technology lists. Just a few things I was curious enough to make real.
01 / A DATABASE, FROM ZERO
A PERSONAL EXPERIMENT
QueryLite
I wanted to understand what happens between writing a SQL query and getting an answer. So I built a tiny database engine.

LEARNING BY BUILDING
Raft, made visual
A hands-on way to explore how machines agree, disagree, fail, and still find their way back.

AN INTERACTIVE BUILD
A shared canvas
Two people, one space, and edits that stay in sync. A small window into collaborative systems.

Keep making little things.
Keep enjoying the story.
