👋 Hi There!
I'm Hrithvik Alex Venu
Jane Street
Software Engineer
New York City
I build backend software for a living. I enjoy creating tangible things with my computer and my pencil. Some things that currently interest me are visualizing geographic data and graphics processing. I am curious about the world we live in to an obsessive degree. I want to traverse every corner of the planet to find out all of its secrets, and I might share some of them along the way.
You can learn more about my professional education and experience here.
Some things I'm working towards currently:
- Learn more about graphics programming and WebGPU
- Complete the philly marathon
- Be able to watch anime without subtitles
- Flesh out and publish a second brain
- Finish reading the Iliad
- Write out blog posts for my adventures
Things i'm inspired by:
alain.xyz was a huge inspiration for the design of this website. He also just makes graphics-related content that inspires me in general.
Odysseas makes great videos about creating vs consuming content and managing hobbies.
This 6 hour loop of checkpoint music always makes me nostalgic/relaxed.
ThinMatrix makes me want to be a indie-game developer with a home garden.
Haren Hoek makes me want to solo hike in the mountains (even though it probably sucks)
