Origin station
Engineer by craft. Explorer by heart.
I'm Bharat Swami, a full-stack software engineer who has been shipping production code since 2018: APIs, dashboards, blockchain products and everything in between. I care less about clever code and more about software that solves the real problem behind the ticket.
Off the keyboard, I travel with a camera. Solo Himalayan trips, monsoon bike rides and the Maha Kumbh have taught me the same things good engineering does: stay curious, adapt quickly, and understand the people you're building for.
Passenger noticeCuriosity is my compiler: it turns questions into code, roads into stories, and moments into frames.
