I’m a software engineer & amateur astronomer. On the internet, I’m f1rstmehul. My actual name(s)? Depends on who’s calling and how serious it sounds. I have three names. Not aliases. Not fake IDs. Just… names.

  • my mom’s side calls me mehul (/ˈmeɪ.hʊl/) (the internet picked that one too)
  • at home and in my village, I’m manish (/ˈmanɪʃ/) .
  • and Parmeshwar (/pəɾ.meɕ.ʋəɾ/) – the legal one. found on IDs, passport and on serious documents.

So if you’re ever confused, don’t worry — I am too sometimes.

I enjoy writing code, especially in Go and Rust.
Distributed systems and compilers interest me the most. When I’m not close to a monitor, I’m usually looking up at the sky or out on a cricket field.

I’m on, x (or twitter), github and linkedin.
