Ananta Krishnan

Hi, I'm Ananta Krishnan 👋🏻

Helloo! I'm Ananta Krishnan, otherwise known as OneRandom online. I'm a CSE sophomore student at VIT Chennai. I have always been enthusiastic about programming, ever since 6th grade when I first started to learn C++.

I mainly work on random projects that I find interesting, and I love contributing to open-source projects. I also do freelance work, primarily focusing on high-performance Rust server applications and Next.js web applications. So, hit me up if you have any projects you want me to work on! :)

Besides all the technical stuff, I have a variety of other interests like football, playing the guitar, sim-racing, cubing, typing (yes I kinda type fast 👀) and much more. I also enjoy watching anime and reading manga in my free time!
