Howdy π
Welcome to the garden of Anurag Bhandari the developer, a generalist software engg.
This little space on the web is where I write about my coding (mis)adventures, share bookmarks, and scribble short notes to help my future self (and you?) learn something useful.
π© Hats I have worn over the years:
Full-Stack Engineer, Engineering Manager, Frontend Architect, Applied R&D Technologist, Linux
Developer, OSS Founder, and "the guy who'll fix my computer".
I love experimenting with shiny new things β¨, learning through knowledge sharing π£, and spraying emojis π.

Saved them both storage and compute costs.
