Hi, I'm Gajanan Rathod 👋

Software Engineer focused on backend development, system design, and building scalable, reliable products. I enjoy solving real-world problems through code and turning ideas into production-ready systems.

Outside of code, I explore storytelling through filmmaking, portrait photography, and travel vlogs. Music is my therapy, and creativity is how I stay balanced.

History

I grew up in a small village in Jalna, moved to the city for education, and learned independence early living with my grandma, away from family.

My first obsession was computers. From ₹20/hour computer cafés to pirating Windows and selling photo edits in school, I was always building, breaking, and figuring things out.

I wrote my first website in 8th grade, opened CPUs out of curiosity, and became the guy teachers called when a computer stopped working.

College led me to Java, problem-solving, and eventually backend systems where I found my real interest: scaling, logic, and solving meaningful problems.

I earned my first laptop through freelancing. Bought my first camera after graduation both emotional milestones, not purchases.

Music is my therapy. I write and compose to make sense of life.

I still doubt myself sometimes, but I know where I'm headed: building impactful systems, reaching MAANG, and eventually founding something big.

I'm here to build, learn obsessively, and grow one system at a time.
