About

Hi, I'm Rohan Prabhu. I am a graduate from MIT Manipal where I studied computer engineering. Ever since I was young, I have been fascinated by computers and technology. After graduation, I have been working as a full stack developer with a focus on back-end development. I am particularly skilled in GoLang and have been using it to assist in building NuCash, a neobank for the genz. In my free time, I enjoy exploring new technologies and staying up-to-date on the latest industry trends. I exhibit an entrepreneurial mentality, and am eager to learn and adapt to different environments.

My extra-curricular includes Video Editing, Photography and Film Making.
