About

I'm passionate about computer systems, problem solving and algorithms. Throughout my life, I have been driven by curiosity to learn new things. Whether it’s participating in ACM-ICPC, representing my college in Germany for RoboCup event, engaging in open source contributions or trying penetration testing, I have always been up for a challenge and exploring new technologies. I have a particular interest in developing high-performance systems which require in-depth knowledge of computer systems and networks. I have worked on developing throttling systems for C++ based concurrent server, leveraging shared memory, semaphores and sockets. I have also worked in big data technologies like Apache Flink, HBase, etc. with some brief exposure to working in front-end technologies like Nodejs and Angular. I also write sometimes https://abhinavag.medium.com/ Github: https://github.com/abhinavagarwal07 I enjoy traveling, ballroom dancing, and adventure sports.
