About
Hi 👋
Hey! I'm a fullstack web developer, and an Open-Source enthusiast. My interest includes exploring various technologies such as Docker(DevOps), Low-level programming, Compilers, etc. Currently, I'm an undergrad student studying at JIIT, Noida. I did Google Summer of Code(GSoC) 2021 at Postman, and I'm currently a maintainer at AsyncAPI where I maintain the diff library.
Welcome to my smol corner on the internet where I write blogs, and showoff my projects :)
This site has no creepy ads, no paywalls, and no analytics. I like to write blogs to share with other people, and hopefully connect with them.
What am I doing these days
- Working as a FullStack intern at Beatoven.ai
- Exploring Elixir & Phoenix framework
- Contributing to ✨Open-Source✨
Random
Just some random stuff.
Desktop
This is what my desktop currently looks like. I'm using Pop-OS as my daily driver(I distro hop a lot), and VSCode. I left Vim. Too much to configure :(
Editor
My current editor is VSCode. Here's how it looks right now. Editor font: Calling Code, Terminal Font: Iosevka, and default dark theme.
Keyboard
This is my current keyboard. Keychron K2-V2, with red switches. I love it! I have been eyeing NuPhy Air 60/75 as well, but they don't currently ship in India :(
Look at this big boi!
Speaking
I spoke at AsyncAPI conference 2021 about my Google Summer of Code project AsyncAPI diff. Checkout the talk here.
I spoke at DelhiFOSS on October2022 about Elixir and what makes it great.
Gave a workshop on Scratch at CodeDay Delhi 2022.
Tools
I use VSCode, with vim extension as my IDE. Kitty as my terminal. I use either `Fira Code` or `Julia Mono` as my font. I love the Vitesse Dark theme by Anthony Fu. I use Notion as my primary note taking/todo list app. I use Kitty as my default terminal, and Firefox for my day to day internet surfing.
What's in the name?
As you might already know, I go by aayushmau5 on the internet. This name is inspired by deadmau5, an electronic music producer(I hope he doesn't sue me for this XD). I love his music. This guy introduced me to real electronic music. Filled with melody, and emotion. Been a fan since 2016.
