Computer Science · Halifax, Canada

I build software to understand how things work — and turn ideas into useful products.

I’m Pratham Poptani, a Computer Science student at Dalhousie University. I’m interested in software engineering, systems, developer tools, Linux, Go, and building products that solve real problems.

01 / About

More interested in building real things than collecting buzzwords.

I like projects that force me to learn deeply: algorithms through graph tooling, infrastructure through Linux and Docker, and product development by shipping things people can actually use.

Long term, I want to work on software with meaningful real-world impact and eventually build products of my own.
