About Me
Internet of things junkie, Golang developer, SRE Enthusiast
Hello! I'm Niranjan Awati
I live where sensors meet servers and vegetables get suspiciously smart. By day, I whisper sweet nothings to Raspberry Pis until they confess to the cloud. By night, I bribe full-stack prototypes with caffeine until they actually work. 💻☕
As a proud member of Open Source Anonymous (we meet in Slack channels at 2 AM), I code faster than my coffee gets cold—and I drink an ALARMING amount of coffee. Backend, frontend, firmware, Kubernetes YAML files that make grown engineers cry—I've done it all.
Currently teaching machines to be immortal humans through ChronoSoul, because regular AI was too mainstream. Also speedrunning my way to SRE mastery, because if you're preserving consciousness digitally, your servers better not have existential crises at 3 AM. 🧠💾
When not translating between human and container, you'll find me elbow-deep in aquaponics setups where fish have better Wi-Fi than most neighborhoods. My plants are IoT-enabled and probably plotting world domination.
Racing to build ridiculously smart and stupidly sustainable things before: (a) oceans turn into soup, (b) bees launch their IPO, or (c) Skynet discovers I've been teaching it dad jokes. The jokes might be our only hope. 🐝🔥🤖
