Hi, I’m Aru. I graduated college in two years (at 19 years old), and have about 3+ years of work experience at start-ups (though I’ve been programming for 8+ years, since high school). I bring strong writing, mathematical, and design skills.
I am confident in building anything (websites, 3D software, low-level libraries, etc.), but my expertise is in full-stack applications. In the past, I've built a logistics/shipping system, a real time search tool for 2M+ stars, and a parallelized social media scraper deployed on a supercomputer. I care about high-quality code and documentation. I enjoy finding loopholes [-1], challenging norms [0], and having fun [1].
I’m open to a variety of opportunities (contract, part-time, full-time) but require flexible hours and 20 ≤ hours/week ≤ 40, as I have a day job.
[-1] Couldn’t find a spot in the library, so used the university’s course registration portal to find unused classrooms to study in. Calculated savings to be >$5M and pitched it to my university. https://github.com/aru-py/study-space-finder
