I'm Rohan Sawai, and this is my personal website where I document my journey as a software engineer. I'm passionate about my craft and like sharing my knowledge and learnings with others.

You can find here content related to algorithms, data structures, distributed systems, and software development.

I am pursuing a Masters in Computer Engineering (specializing in Machine Learning). I currently work as a Software Engineering Intern @AWS Security.

I love working with different technologies, and contributing to the design of complex software systems. Continuous learning is my biggest motivator.

Principles I Live By

This section will be updated as I grow wiser.

  • Acting > thinking, complaining, hoping, …
  • Plan for the long-term, act for the short-term.
  • If you really have to die, die running.
