Nilay Byju

Hi, I’m Nilay, a 14 year old systems/backend developer and an open-source contributor from Kerala, India. I’m a self-taught developer who builds low-level tools and systems software optimized for balancing memory usage and performance. Rust and C are my primary languages for this task.

I currently am exploring R&D (Research & Development) and mainly maintaining existing projects or building proof-of-concept programs for supporting my research. When I am not programming, you can usually find me playing chess, reading articles, or playing video games.
