Software Engineer — By Passion

Gourab Choudhury

I'm not married to a stack. Tell me what the org runs on, and I'll pick it up. I've walked into rooms with tech I'd never touched before and figured it out fast enough to ship. That's not a flex, it's just how I've always worked: adapt first, opinions later.

I didn't get into engineering because it looks good on a card. I got into it because building things is the only thing that's held my attention this long. So I follow the problem, not the framework, and so far, whatever I've been handed, I've made it work.

Call it bricolage Building with whatever materials happen to be at hand, instead of the ideal ones. Borrowed from anthropology; used here for shipping with what's actually in front of you. if you want the fancy word for it — because waiting around for the "right" setup is just procrastination with better PR. I'm polyglot Fluent in several languages. Here: comfortable moving across stacks and tools rather than being loyal to one. by necessity, not preference, and the day fluency starts to feel like an identity is usually my cue to go learn the next thing.
