Popagandhi - Classic Mode

For text focused goodness

You’re reading this right. This site looks like it’s 1990 (okay fine, a little later — 1995?). That’s because I’ve come full circle. I started my journey with computers when I developed a deep love for Linux and for open source. I am, in a way, back in that space.

Let this site be a record of my work and interests. Blog posts of note are archived here. There are plenty of changes in the air — and I can’t wait to share it.

Projects

Gyanada — an education non-profit I founded in 2013

Vitess — an open source database clustering system I help out with
