I do the
tech stuff.

I’m Saurav. I write TypeScript, mostly backend, and I’m learning Go. Lately I’ve been building a rate limiter and getting my projector to work without its remote.

§02 projects

Things I’ve built

Side projects, open source, and some client work. Each one has a page on what was actually hard about it.

  1. 01

    valve

    A TypeScript library that queues outbound API calls under one rate limit shared by every worker.

    When the provider says slow down, every worker pauses.

  2. 02

    projector-remote

    A Go server that lives inside my projector and turns any phone into its remote.

    Rooted the device, found an OEM backdoor, then moved in.

    WhatsApp service

    A plug-and-play WhatsApp Cloud API service any multi-tenant CRM can sit in front of.

    The network boundary is the auth boundary.

    formiq

    Form backend infrastructure with a typed SDK, an API, a dashboard and async workers.

    Accept the submission fast, do the slow stuff later.

§05 experience

Where I’ve worked

  1. Dec 2025 – Jul 2026
    remote

    Engineering intern @ Mindtrot Technologies

    Worked on Mindtrot's out-of-hospital care product. Mostly building out flows, fixing bugs and keeping the heavier pages fast.

    React · TypeScript

  2. Aug 2024 – Aug 2025
    Pune

    Full-stack developer intern @ Guru Branding Services

    Joined early and got real work almost immediately. A year of CRMs and ERPs on Node and NestJS, with senior devs reviewing my code every single day. That's where I learned the difference between writing code and building something people depend on.

    Node.js · NestJS · Express · MongoDB

§06 about me

About

I like knowing how things work one layer below where I’m supposed to stop. That’s how a missing projector remote turned into a rooted device running my own server, and how a pile of 429s turned into a post on distributed rate limiting.

Day to day I write TypeScript, mostly on the backend. NestJS, Postgres, Redis, queues, and the occasional third-party API that doesn’t behave like its docs say. Lately I’m picking up Go, and poking at Rust.

I learned the most when someone better than me reviewed my code every day. That’s what I’m after next: an internship on a small team that cares how things are built, where I get real ownership and get told when I’m wrong.

the longer version: how I got here
that’s me

§07 get in touch

Drop me a line.

I’m looking for a software engineering internship. If you’re hiring, I’d like to hear about your team. Questions about a project here are welcome too.
