about myself
hey, i'm anirudh.
i'm a software engineer who loves to build and break things. i'm orginally from jodhpur, rajasthan, india but currently living in bangkok, thailand.
i'm passionate about building products that help people and solve real world problems. currently, i work as a blockchain engineer and devRel at Gelato, diving deep into the world of rollups and smart contract automations.
alongside coding, i enjoy playing basketball, watching f1, traveling and curating spotify playlists. i'm also diving into the world of business—an area i'm eager to master, especially with my software engineering background. i believe having a solid understanding of business is a valuable asset, particularly in the startup world.
at the moment, i'm on the lookout for a co-founder. i've connected with someone who shares a similar vision, and together, we're in the early stages of brainstorming and discovering the right problem to solve. it’s an exciting time, and i’m optimistic about where this journey will lead.
