I’m Sushil Buragute. And I build bridges between concepts and code.

As a developer, I thrive on the intricacies of code, but my enthusiasm extends beyond syntax – it embraces the artistry of UI/UX design. I believe that intuitive interfaces and captivating user experiences are the bridges that connect users with technology.

When I'm not engrossed in code or contemplating design ideas, you'll find me immersed in reading about emerging technologies or assisting fellow coders on the Sreetam's discord server. Beyond the digital realm, my fondness for chess serves as a thought-provoking pursuit, challenging my mind to anticipate future moves—a skill that seamlessly translates into my work. Strategically thinking ahead, I approach problem-solving with the foresight required to tackle issues before they even surface.

Weekends? You'll often find me participating in meetups, soaking in the latest insights and networking within the tech community. Afterwards, I enjoy unwinding at a local board game meetup, where strategic thinking and camaraderie make for the perfect combination of relaxation and mental stimulation.
