About Me

Hi, I'm Chirag (aka noobcoder). I'm a developer who just loves sitting down and building things from scratch.

My golden rule is to actually ship things, not just write code on localhost. I started out with basics like custom search engines and URL shorteners. As I got more comfortable, I jumped into harder stuff—building real-time streaming search engines, fine-tuning LLMs, creating 3D physics simulators, and setting up CDNs on Google Cloud.

The Toolbox

I regularly write Python, Rust, and C++, and love messing around with WebAssembly, Three.js, websockets, CDNs, and vector databases.

The Mindset

Stay out of tutorial hell, figure out real-world deployments, debug messy architectures, and actually finish what you start.

Every single project teaches me something entirely new, whether it's optimizing caching, dealing with websockets, or just figuring out weird memory bugs late at night. If you're curious about how I coded any of this, hit me up on 𝕏!
