Hi, Aviral this side — a young hobbyist software developer and a tinkerer from India. With a keen interest in Backend systems, Distributed/Cloud computing, Security, DevOps and Electronics - I enjoy hunting for bugs and challenging engineering problems. Code, keyboard's tak-tak(s), and coffee are my constant companions.
