Hi, I'm Agraj P Das. /ʌˈgɹæˌdʒˈ/

I build software stuff!
PGP keys: 33B2 D900 0DC9 C4EB EA99 CAE7 64C4 AB4F DCA2 F4B5

Broadly speaking, I'm just a random lad from Kerala, born about 21.104 years BC (before ChatGPT 3.5 release), often found online as bRuttaZz, currently working as a Software Engineer at Knowbe4.

More specs: As of today, I'm somewhat good with 2 human languages: Malayalam and English, and 5 computer languages: Python, JS, C, Go and Ruby. If we ever meet with enough time and tea (..and whatever things are required for you to settle down), we can talk about anything between Computer Networks, System Design, Linux, FOSS or Politics. And also about music.

More yapping on me..

I was a hardcore science enthusiast from my primary school days, a physics enthusiast to be specific. I'm the kind of person who gets easily amazed by some simple, cool natural phenomena.

It was back then, when I was doing some simulation for my physics mini-project on Percolation Theory, that I was drawn into the realm of computer science and programming in general. Since then, I’ve been building some useless-but-otherwise-cool-for-me stuff to fulfill my temporary personal needs (at that time, also to impress my ex-girlfriend).

As a netizen once famously said: "If you’ve got a creative itch, programming can scratch that itch!"

I found programming to be a good way to satisfy my instant-gratification-monkey (I mean my brain)! Like any other passionate developer out there, I also love FOSS/FLOSS and am highly motivated by its philosophies. Thanks to GNU and Linux.

More details? Sure, I got a lot...
  • I use GNU/Linux as my daily driver
  • I am a fan of federated systems like, activityPub, email, matrix, etc.
  • I consider politics to be of great value and something that should be constantly discussed by all of us.
  • I found myself more aligned with Left wing political ideologies.
  • I strongly believe FOSS plays a much more significant role than it's praised for.
  • I love music and sounds in general, and secretly try to learn guitar, violin, or at least a harmonica whenever I'm free and motivated (which is a rare scenario).
  • As a remaining of my old Physics degree, I possess David Griffith's, Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, and tries to complete reading it whenever I'm free and motivated (again, a rare scenario).
  • In my sleep, I dream about becoming a kernel developer.
  • I love writing scripts.
  • I don't like God(s) but Humans. Among them, like Girls slightly more, especially those ones who talk about politics.

(A lot of 'I's there.)

Let me stop here, this's way more than my Google-Portfolio.
