hi, I am Vivek

I am a software engineer based in India. I am particularly interested in math, computers, and history.

Sometimes, I write blogs. You can find them over here.

work

I am currently working at Mars Computers where we are trying to make powerful compute accessible everywhere.

Before this, I used to build and maintain backend systems at Investmint. Here's a brief list of interesting things I had built in my time here so far:

• inves-broker - A heavily used internal library written in Node.js for interacting with multiple broker APIs in the Indian stock market.
• news feed - This is a real-time, AI powered news feed that sends the latest updates for all the companies who have their stocks listed on NSE.
• portfolio import and analysis - You can import your holdings from 10+ brokers in India and get detailed analysis on top of it.

As a side project, I have been working on teachyourselfmath - a free website with an evergrowing list of math problems, parsed by a home grown engine (posted on Hacker News). I believe technology is an accelerator for making education accessible. With the right intentions and decent capital at disposal, we can truly make a dent in the universe.

And before all of this, I was studying engineering and making fun little CLIs and servers like - retain, binge, trackbit, maketest, and assignexpert.

lists

I am genuinely interested in math and history, along with computing being the primary candidate. I describe more on this over here along with my side projects.

misc

• People over companies, kindness over smartness.
• Most of us suck at time estimation.
• Sometimes, choosing the path less traveled has a higher upside. You can eliminate competition by making the right choices.
