Rahul | Software Eng. @ Day | Building NanoURL.link @ Night

I’m currently working on πŸ› οΈ NanoURL.link – A high-performance, privacy-focused URL shortener & QR code generator.

I’m a Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience in the IT industry, specializing in Java, Spring Boot, and Cloud Architecture. I’ve always been fascinated by how massive systems are designed, which led me to stop just reading and start building my own products.

I believe in the "Build in Public" philosophy and am currently navigating the world of SaaS without any prior business experience. I’m here to learn, share my technical journey, and connect with fellow makers.
