Hello there, I'm Dhruva Kashyap. My pronouns are He/Him. I was born in Bengaluru(ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು), India, and have lived here all my life.

I am very passionate about Computer Science, a field of study that has taught me much. I finished my Undergraduate Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering from PES University. As of writing this(December 2022), I am pursuing a Master's in Computer Science and Engineering from CSA, IISc.

This is the GPG Key that I am currently using. Please manage your keys well. Read the GNU Privacy Handbook to learn more.

I use Doom Emacs to write everything you have seen. Many thanks, Henrik!

I believe in the principles of the Free and Open Source Movement. The GNU Project and Linux Foundation are the cornerstone of modern software development.

I have many favorite places for food around Bengaluru, but I am a vegetarian, so my recommendations will reflect that. This list is really sparse; please help me expand it!

• CTR, Malleshwaram
• MTR, Lalbagh
• Umesh Dosa point, Sheshadripuram

I have many fond memories of being read stories by my grandparents. I have been reading for as long as I remember. A few books I can recommend(Again, a list that I definitely need to make longer):

• Crime and Punishment, by Fyodor Dostoevsky
• Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury
• Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell
• Lone wolf and Cub(子連れ狼), by writer Kazuo Koike and artist Goseki Kojima

I also love watching the cinema. Some of my favorite Directors are Francis Ford Coppola, Stanley Kubrick, Akira Kurosawa, George Lucas, Martin Scorsese, Steven Spielberg, Bong Joon-Ho, Alfred Hitchcock, Katheryn Bigelow, Quentin Tarantino, Hayao Miyazaki, and many more. I talk more here.

I am a big fan of Star Wars. A character I really like is Admiral Raddus, who made his appearance in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
