Hello world!
Welcome to my GitHub page
My name is Saksham Mittal, though I go by gotlou online. Feel free to go through my repositories for ideas of your own or for curiosity, or go to my website for more info.
I've been programming for a fairly long time, and tinkering with computers for much longer than that. In that amount of time, I'd say I've tried my hand at a lot of different aspects of computing:
-
I've been daily driving Linux for ~7 years and am fairly comfortable with the command line (still learning shell scripting)
-
I've messed around with MySQL and PostgreSQL, and am fairly adept at writing somewhat complicated but efficient SQL queries.
-
I've learned Python, C, C++, Go and am currently experimenting with Rust
-
I've built a website in the absence of any web frameworks or JavaScript.
-
I learned Markdown to write better documentation and to also manage my own personal notes.
-
I've learned how to use version control software to manage my projects and merge contributions in branches.
-
I wrote a game with my friends called panzer.
-
I then rewrote that game in C by myself here.
-
I wrote a small Wordle clone here to learn JavaScript
-
I am writing a peer to peer file transfer application in Rust using my own transfer protocol and implementing NAT traversal
I'll update this list as time goes on...
