Hey, I'm Dhruv 👋

Professionally a software engineer. Realistically? A computer geek trying to understand how systems think — not just how they work, but why they work the way they do.
I don’t do fluff. I don’t do bullshit.
If I shipped something half-baked, it’s not because I didn’t care — it’s because I cared too damn much, tried too damn long, and eventually got so frustrated I said: fuck it.


🛠️ Currently Building: Project Heimdall

A secure, scalable, AI-powered analytics system — the kind of tool that respects both the user and the codebase.
Not a duct-taped, analytics-afterthought.
I'm building it the way software should be built — carefully, intentionally, respectfully. No shortcuts. No corporate clownery.
Feel free to contribute if that resonates with you.


🧠 Lately Into: Psychology of Systems

What makes them tick. Why they behave the way they do.
Computers, humans, decision trees — all of it.
Trying to understand the reasoning, not just the results.


✍️ Blogs

Most of it starts with frustration and ends with,
“Okay fine, I’ll write it myself.”

Some things I’ve written — raw, honest, sometimes helpful:

(Got thoughts? I’m always open to feedback — or a good argument.)


🌀 Git Obsession

Git is pure magic. No exaggeration.
I've been maintaining a Git Handbook — not some beginner cheat sheet, but something deeper. A living doc of the weird little commands and workflows I love.
If you’ve got ideas or questions, I’m all ears.


🧵 Recent Rabbit Hole: Golang

Its hype is impossible to ignore — and turns out, it’s earned.
Fast. Clean. No-nonsense.
So I’m hanging around, building things, and seeing how far I can push it.
No language wars. No gatekeeping.


🎸 Music & Sound

Been learning guitar for a while — not consistently, but haven’t lost what I’ve learned.
Also recently discovered this brilliant generative music project: Strudel.
It’s absolutely nuts (in the best way). Planning to dive in.


🧿 No Language Flexing. No Framework Name-Dropping.

I'm a software engineer.
There’s no excuse for not learning what needs to be learned.
The tool is never the excuse. The mindset is.


Here to build, learn, and maybe leave things better than I found them.
