+<p>
+    I’m Rohan, a <strong>Computer Science &amp; Game Development student</strong> at Northeastern University. Born in the UAE and of Indian heritage, my work centers on programming, self-hosted infrastructure, and software philosophy.
+</p>
+<p>
+    I code primarily in <strong>Go, Shell, Java, Lua, and web stacks</strong>. For infrastructure, I maintain a NetBSD VPS and a Debian homeserver, balancing active deployments with a strict preference for <strong>minimal tooling and old-web aesthetics</strong>.
+</p>
+<p>
+    Ultimately, I build around a singular core philosophy: advocating for software that is designed to <strong>do one thing exceptionally well</strong>.
