Software engineer.Usually debugging.

I'm Rajat, a software engineer currently working remotely for Amboss.

I spend my weekdays building software and payment systems around Bitcoin and Lightning, and my weekends driving to the hills, meeting friends, exploring cafés, or building something that definitely didn't need to exist :p

Service splits work better when the domain boundary is already clear.
