About Me

Short Bio

Hi! Thanks for stopping by.

I'm Rakesh, a software engineer who builds products end-to-end and enjoys optimizing both codebases and loadouts. I've worked on enterprise AI platforms, DeFi infrastructure, and creator tools, focusing on performance, clarity, and systems that hold up under real-world use.

I like thinking in systems: clean architectures, thoughtful trade-offs, and interfaces that make complex things feel obvious. When I'm not shipping software, I'm gaming, which probably explains my obsession with feedback loops, latency, and making things feel responsive.

I enjoy building things people actually use, improving them iteratively, and knowing when to refactor… and when to just ship.
