Hello, I'm Dhruv. I'm a full-stack developer with 3+ years of experience. I enjoy building sites & apps. My focus is Next.js and LLMs.
About me
Originally from Mumbai, India, I'm now embracing the vibrant life of New York City, which I absolutely love! I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree in Computer Science at the Stevens Institute of Technology. Before this, I gained valuable experience working for two years in a service based firm AccionLabs and a year later at Qualcomm's GPU Performance Team. My passion for programming is more than just about writing code; it's about how it shapes our cognitive abilities and thought processes.
Outside of programming, my life is an adventure in itself. I've been an active sports enthusiast, participating in track & field events as a sprinter, mastering the art of archery, and indulging in horse riding. Football is my go-to sport, and I'm an avid FIFA player – challenge me if you dare, but be prepared, I'm quite the competitor!
I'm an adrenaline junkie at heart, always seeking thrilling experiences and living life on the edge. When it's time to unwind, I find joy in cooking, especially whipping up delicious Indian meals. That's a brief window into my world – a blend of intense tech passion, love for sports, and a zest for life!
