ABOUT & TECH STACK

Engineering Background

I'm Dhanish G., a software developer who started with Python and Django and gradually became interested in understanding what happens underneath the applications I build.

Instead of treating tools as magic boxes, I enjoy digging into version control internals, server transport protocols, databases, and local AI workflows. This curiosity led me to build DEVLAN to explore Git infrastructure from the ground up.

My goal is to build reliable backend services, developer tools, and scalable web applications while continuously improving my systems knowledge.
