Hi, I'm Bharat, from 🇮🇳📍in Osaka, with my first and most sincere love, chocolateI'm a software engineer writing TypeScript and building tools for the web. I am interested in technology and societal improvement. I am curious about most things in the world, which compels me to travel extensively and write about it sometimes. Grateful for early failure.Here is a little bit more about me: I was born and went to school in Delhi, India. I was bright academically for most of school but had few friends – the computer was a big part of my life all through childhood and teenage. Technology was my biggest interest all through school, culminating with being president of the high school computer club on graduating school in 2015.I went to college in Patiala (a beautiful princely city in the north of India) to study computer engineering in 2016, after attempting to make it to the IITs (the best engineering colleges in India) for one extra attempt. I did not, and that remains an early, spectacular failure for which I am very grateful.I was greatly interested in societal improvement all through college years and got multiple internships in the area. I graduated in 2020 and found a job to pursue the same interest: to apply open-source technology for governments.I remain extremely thankful for the year and a half I spent at this job, since it provided opportunity to understand many facts of the world I was attempting to impactMy work with open-source coupled with a desire to separate work and play got me an offer to work full-time for an open-source company whose projects I had been using for many years.On the side, I work with an organisations trying to bring about orbital shifts in Indian society. This is a core project.As of writing, I continue to work at MUI, get to travel a fair bit because of the remote nature of the job and spend the rest of my time being guided by curiosity
