Hi, i'm Vinayak a.k.a. CalC

pursuing B.Tech in Electronics and Communication Engineering at IIIT Allahabad.

Currently trying to dive deep into Databases and Embedded Systems.

I mostly work in Rust and TypeScript, choosing languages based on the kind of reliability and control I need. I like my tools fast, local-first, and hackable.

I like cats and raccoons, infact i identify as a racc/oon.
