Software Engineer · IIIT Nagpur · 2026

Dhruv Anand

I write code closer to the metal.

I'm a second-year CS student at IIIT Nagpur. I like building things and understanding how they work -- not just that they work. That itch has taken me through Android apps, compilers and whatever else a hackathon throws at you at 2am.

Lately I've been going deeper into systems -- I'm writing a bytecode VM in C from scratch, mostly because I wanted to stop handwaving when someone asks how a language actually runs. It's humbling in the best way.
