Hi 👋! I'm Ankit (he/him). I was born in a small town in Rajasthan, India 🇮🇳. I grew up being fascinated by computers. My earliest memory of using a Computer was playing Dangerous Dave on Windows 98. I discovered Linux and learned to program during high-school.
Now I work at Rapyuta Robotics building systems for large-scale warehouse robotics. Outside work, I'm interested in selfhosting, lisp and emacs.
I'm maried to Mitchy. We live in Bangalore, India 🇮🇳. We love the Bangalore weather and enjoy going on bookstore and café dates.
