About me.
Hi! I'm Vidyoot Senthil, a software engineer based in Atlanta, Georgia. I'm currently a student at the Georgia Institute of Technology studying Computer Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence and Computer Systems Architecture.
I'm a full-stack developer with a focus on React/Next.js and SolidJS. I'm also an avid game-developer — designing, creating, and publishing Unity games in my free time.
