About

Hello everyone!!

I am Sanchayan Maity and my life revolves around electronics, programming, music and books. Long term goals are to learn Haskell, compilers, Mathematics and operating/distributed systems in depth.

Used to live in Mumbai and worked as an Embedded Systems Engineer from July 2010 to 2012 at Godrej Security Solutions, a sub division of Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. Settled in Bangalore now. Worked at [Toradex](https://www.toradex.com/) from 2013-2017 as a Development Engineer on Linux for their downstream BSP while also making [upstream contributions](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/log/?qt=author&q=sanchayan). Spend two years at Harman International where I worked on custom Linux FPGA driver for a frame grabber system. Currently am working at [asymptotic.io](https://asymptotic.io) where my work mostly involves working with GStreamer and also Pipewire and Pulseaudio. Was lucky enough to get to work on Haskell for 8 months for a client as my very first assignment.

Am passionate about open source and also organise and speak at the [Bangalore Haskell](https://www.meetup.com/The-Bangalore-Haskell-User-Group/) and [Rust](https://www.meetup.com/RustBLR/) meetup groups. Come say hello.
