I recently finished my batch at the Recurse Center (formerly Hacker School), a twelve week self directed programmer's retreat focussed on becoming a better programmer. During my batch I wanted to learn about operating systems and distributed systems and built a toy UNIX shell in C from scratch and started implementing Raft, a distributed consensus protocol in Erlang.

Prior to this, I have worked for three years at an online payments startup where I worked across the entire backend codebase and spent a significant time working on the infrastructure team. I worked with: Python, Golang, AWS, Terraform and Docker. I enjoy designing and implementing fault tolerant systems and try to keep my programs small and concise, since I believe in the philosophy of less is more.

I have previous remote experience when I worked on my Google Summer of Code project in 2014. While I worked from my home in India, my mentor was situated half way across the world in Brazil. I was able to successfully use the project mailing list and IRC channel for all project related discussions.
