01 — About
Hello — I'm Daksham.

A short introduction.

I'm a full-stack software engineer based in India, with seven years of professional practice. I've worked across early-stage startups and enterprise platforms — building products that need to feel light, but hold weight underneath.

My happy place is the seam between a clean React front-end and a well-modelled Postgres schema. I write Go and TypeScript daily, read more documentation than I probably should, and prefer boring tools applied to interesting problems.

Outside of the code editor I bind notebooks, ride long brevets, and drink too much V60. I'm currently happiest when I'm leading a small, senior team on a hard product — and I'm slowly writing essays about the craft.

Where I've spent my hours.

Seven years, four chapters.

04 — Ideas
Convictions, lightly held.

Things I believe about software.

I.

Boring tools, bold problems.

Most of my best work uses Postgres, a queue and a careful schema. Save your novelty budget for the product.

II.

Latency is a feature.

A 200ms page that always loads beats a 60ms page that occasionally doesn't. Reliability compounds.

III.

Write the README first.

If you can't explain what a service does in a paragraph, you don't understand it yet — and neither will the next engineer.

IV.

Design lives in the diff.

Polish is not a final pass. It's a thousand tiny decisions made one PR at a time.

V.

Pair the calendar with the code.

Every meeting I keep is a feature I won't ship. Defaults matter; protect the maker's schedule fiercely.

08 — Outside Work
Hobbies, in earnest.

What I do when I'm not coding.

01
Meditation

Trying to sit daily. Some days go better than others.

02
Chess

Slow games, faster blunders. Working on both.

03
Reading

History, politics and finance — anything that explains how we got here.

04
Markets

Following stocks closely. More hobby than portfolio strategy.

05
Debates

Logical reasoning as a sport. Happy to argue either side.

06
Forecasting

Trying to predict the future. Mostly wrong, occasionally smug.

09 — Contact
The simplest section to design.

Let's talk.

I'm currently considering a small number of new engagements for the second half of 2026 — staff/lead roles, advisory, and the occasional product build. The fastest way to reach me is email; I reply within 48 hours on weekdays.
