iit dhanabad · loves to build and break stuff

Kunal Gurtatta

i'm a backend and systems engineer specializing in distributed systems, web3 and security. I spend my time in Python, C and Solidity, building decentralized infrastructure, auditing protocols, and making sure distributed systems don't fall over. I like hard problems, clean code, and open-source software.

who i am

I am a microscopic anomaly on a speck of dust, drifting through an infinite void. And yet, I am the only part of that void that can name the stars.

I am an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself

The cosmos is within me. I am made of star-stuff. I am a way for the universe to know itself.
