A random 40 years old man at the gym asked me for diet and workout advice today. i don't know when that started happening. but it felt good.

The servers can wait.

The honest job search update: Two startup (SF, NYC) interviews this week. both found me through my work, not a job board. if you're hiring a full stack engineer who ships fast, owns problems end to end, and doesn't need to be told what to do next — i'd love to talk. gauravnardia.com

The story behind the story is harder than anything i've posted about. But i'm still here. Still building. Still going. Still working with same intensity. Because one day this whole thing becomes something worth telling. And i want to be the one telling it.

If you haven't gotten what you want, then you're not worthy of it. And that's okay. Now you can admit that you suck and improve. It's better to know you're bad for a season than pretend you're good for a lifetime.

Most ambitious people never say they are ambitious. They are just doing their stuff.

a year ago i was a kid from haryana, india. no degree. no network. no roadmap. just a laptop and a belief that if i build things that matter, the right people will find me. so i started building. 🧵

"i was in a small city in india, building alone, tweeting into the void and then someone in SF saw it and said come over." manifesting that someone is reading this right now.

i built a vercel alternative in 5 weeks. not a clone. not a tutorial project. A real deployment platform with BYOC support, automated AWS infrastructure provisioning, multi-framework detection, custom domains, SSL, and CI/CD. solo. from india. it's live. gauravnardia.com

I recently turned 22 in May, no degree, no co-founder, no funding. I built a deployment platform in 5 weeks that solves the exact problem vercel's enterprise customers complain about. it's live. it works. I'm available gauravnardia.com

Lets go🚀

As usual, @vercel.community shipped some awesome things last week! Please excuse my light mode clothing choice in the video. We're facing extreme heat and drought where I live, and I've been exploring a lot of carefully crafted open source projects lately, so a handmade linen dress felt right

the best interview i could give is a walkthrough of this codebase. i'm ready when you are.

vercel is a great product. i built one anyway.

At some point you stop asking if you're good enough and just show them.

need a company that looks at my portfolio and says: "yeah let's import this guy to London" that's it. that's the tweet.

crazy that my side projects have reached people in london and sf before i have. PS: Looking for engineering role, portfolio: gauravnardia.com

@rauchg.blue this one's for you. I Built Better Vercel I built something over the last 4 weeks. It started with a simple frustration. And main thing is i wanted to learn how deployment platforms works. Full demo: x.com/gaurav_nardi...
