About

Welcome to my website, my name is Dhruv and I’m a self-taught software engineer mostly interested in backend with a pinch of frontend engineering. I started programming in May of 2021 and started working professionally in July 2022. The first language that I learnt and the one that I work in primarily is Python, though I spent several months just nerding over Rust sometime back, proof of which can found in my blogs and projects. I am also exploring and practicing frontend technologies.

I work as a software engineer at DwellFi, an US-based startup automating venture fund management processes and reducing manual workloads. In my free time, I am also contributing to Pydantic's Logfire observability platform.

Interests

I was learning Spanish and French before pivoting to tech, it has been two plus years now but I still listen to Spanish songs on a regular basis. Reading is a big passion of mine and I delve into long reading sessions frequently. I have caught up to A Song of Ice and Fire series sometime back -- call me when The Winds of Winter arrives, and have just started Sanderson's A Way of Kings novel, having fully read the Mistborn series earlier. I am also playing Hollow Knight: Silksong on and off, indulging in the beauty and atmopshere of the game, and raging at the difficulty and challenge at all other occassions.

I’m also into audio-gear – I have Creative Pebble V3 speakers for my desk setup as they're flexible and connect with bluetooth, and a pair of Kefine Klean IEMs for late night music listening and evening walk sessions. Both of these options are great value products and I’m super happy with them, for the time being :P I currently own an M1 Macbook Air (16 GB + 256 GB) that I connect to my Benq 24 inch monitor and write on with the RK84 V2 keyboard (Brown Switches). This is all great but I am tempted to upgrade each of these components eventually in some time (which I won't cause it doesn't make sense -- but I want to!)
