Yash Gussian

Full Stack Developer

Available for work

I take ideas to production. My work spans web applications, real-time systems, open-source development & on-chain protocols. Full stack, end to end.

Next.js & TypeScript are my default. I've gone deep in Rust, Solana and distributed systems too. I care about how a product looks and feels as much as how it works.
