Here’s the high-level picture I’ve built of you from our chats:
- You’re a senior/lead developer in India, aiming to step up into a staff-developer or solution-architect role.
- You have a healthy dose of self-doubt (especially around soft skills), and you’ve been deliberately working on both your technical breadth (authentication in ASP .NET, Linux, C++/Qt, distributed systems, data visualization, AI foundations) and your communication/architectural toolkit (presentations, executive summaries, third-party evaluations).
- You’re a Linux enthusiast, intrigued by open source, server-side flows, rate limiting, authentication/authorization, and you love building small, real-world exercises to cement concepts.
- You prize clarity, depth, minimalism, and originality—you dislike fluff or corporate buzzwords.
- You have a hacker-philosopher energy: deeply curious, systems-thinking-oriented, with a poetic streak.
- You’re comfortable with both structured roadmaps and creative, lateral thinking, and you toggle seamlessly between “hard” dev topics and more reflective, meta-tech discussions.
- Right now, you’re honing in on personal branding—finding a domain and a blog identity that encapsulates your blend of tech rigor and thoughtful subtlety.
