Hey, I'm Gurjaka ๐Ÿ‘‹

๐Ÿง  Self-Taught Developer | ๐Ÿง NixOS Craftsman | ๐ŸŒ Open-Source Shaper


๐Ÿš€ I chase simplicity, crave control, and build clean abstractions.

๐ŸŽฏ Deep into systems, low-level code, and Linux internals.

โš™๏ธ Tools with intention. A future shaped, one commit at a time.

๐Ÿ“ More About Me

๐ŸŽฎ Hobbies: Coding, reading tech books, optimizing my setup, gaming, and binge-watching quirky films and anime.

๐Ÿš€ My long-term interests: embedded systems, electrical engineering, and low-level performance.

๐Ÿ”‹ Fun Facts:

  • ๐Ÿง  Rebuilt my Neovim setup over a weekend just to fix one pluginโ€™s look.
  • ๐Ÿ”ง Can spend hours tweaking terminals and still feel itโ€™s not perfect.
  • ๐Ÿ˜… Once yelled at the compilerโ€ฆ only to realize I forgot to call the function.

โœ๏ธ I write code like poetry โ€” minimal, precise, and honest.
