Hey, I'm Rahul.

I almost didn't end up in tech. In 2020, I had to step away from my engineering program — not because I wanted to, but because life had other plans. So instead of waiting for circumstances to change, I started moving: teaching mathematics, then spending three years as a Computer Operator at CSC Centers, where I helped everyday people access government services they'd never used digitally before.

That experience rewired how I think about technology. When you watch someone encounter a digital interface for the first time — confused, then slowly getting it — you stop thinking about code for its own sake. You start thinking about people. What they actually need. What trips them up. What makes something finally click.

I graduated with a B.Sc. in Mathematics in 2024 and I'm now building seriously in frontend development, AI tools, and Python. My approach hasn't changed: understand what someone actually needs first, then build toward that — not the other way around.

I ask a lot of questions. I fail fast. I don't stop until it makes sense. My motto is simple: try, fail, learn, repeat — and you'll win more than you lose, but more importantly, you'll learn more than most.

Outside of tech: I chase light with my phone camera. Landscapes mostly. It keeps me paying attention to the world, which I think makes me better at this work.

If you have a problem worth solving, I'd love to hear about it.
