Full Stack Engineer | Linux · FOSS | Freelance Developer | Building production-grade systems

I'm Siddhesh Lakhani, a Full Stack Developer based in Mumbai. I specialize in building production-grade systems using Next.js, Express, PostgreSQL, and Docker. My workflow is driven by a deep interest in Arch Linux and systems programming, running a custom-patched DWM setup to keep things lightweight and efficient.

I believe in minimalism, both in design and functionality. This means shipping fast, owning my stack, and ensuring that every line of code serves a purpose. Whether it's debugging low-level kernel interactions or fine-tuning a pixel-perfect UI, I focus on performance and control.

Currently, I'm deep-diving into Linux kernel internals and exploring systems programming to understand the layers beneath the application. When I'm not at the terminal, you'll find me gaming, vibing to music, or pushing limits in sports.

Ship Fast
Build MVPs, iterate quickly, optimize when needed. Don't over-engineer.
Own Your Stack
Self-host when possible. Control your data, your infra, your systems.
Minimalism First
Less noise, more signal — in code, in design, in tooling.
Linux Purist
Arch + DWM. Full control. No bloat. Riced and suckless.
Full-Stack Thinking
From DB schema to pixel-perfect UI — I think end-to-end.

Life outside
the code.

Gaming
Competitive gamer. Clutch plays and game-winning moments fuel the same energy as solving hard bugs.
Music
Always vibing. Music is the background process running while I ship features.
Sports
Pushing limits physically. Competition and performance — on the field and in the terminal.
Biking
Riding my RE Meteor 350 through open landscapes. It’s where I find my best ideas and clearest focus.

Let's build
something great.

Open to freelance projects, technical discussions, and interesting collaborations. Don't be a stranger.
