My name's Raunak. I'm a software engineer located in Palo Alto, CA.
I graduated from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver in May 2023. I received a B.Sc. in Computer Science and Mathematics.
My non-technical interests include:
- basketball
- hockey
- working out
- reading (mainly big-name fantasy fiction titles; e.g., LOTR, Harry Potter, Dune, etc.)
- watching tv shows + movies (currently watching Ozark)
My technical interests include:
- build tools (highly invested in
buck2
right now) - programming languages (
rust
,ocaml
,go
; in that order) - web-based rendering engines
- e.g., binaries compiled to
WASM
withWebGPU
integrations - one can then deliver these
WASM
binaries to the client and run it in a some standardizedWASM-VM
- this can then render the entire "native-feeling" application to the client's screen
- (note that there are security concerns with running arbitrary binaries client-side; this can be safe-guarded against by limiting the ABIs/APIs/symbols that that binary has access to in the first place)
- e.g., binaries compiled to
