About
Developer, cinephile, lifelong learner.
I'm Shantanu Kulkarni, a software developer from Pune, India who enjoys building things for the web, especially creating interfaces that look good and feel great to use.
Outside of tech, I love movies, TV shows, and anime, especially analysing the stories and ideas behind them. I'm also interested in animation, filmmaking, and content creation. I enjoy drawing too, and try to take part in Inktober every year.
