I am Utkarsh, a 20 y/o undergrad student!
Besides being a full-time student, I am an open source advocate, a software developer, and a somewhat-polyglot developer.

I am also a Debian core developer, maintaining & working on over 900+ packages (written in C, C++, Python, Ruby, JavaScript, Go, and Perl), including some key packages like the Ruby interpreter, Rails, GitLab, some Python libraries, Micro, and libgit2. Besides, I also co-maintain the fasttrack.debian.net service & act as an FTP Trainee.

I was Google Summer of Code student twice (once in 2019 and then in 2020), both times in Debian, where I authored my "baby" project, RuboCop::Packaging, which is a linter and an auto-corrector, written in Ruby, helping downstream Ruby teams of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, et al.

And finally, I work on Debian LTS part-time, a project by Freexian, extending the lifetime of all Debian stable releases to (at least) 5 years, where I patch and backport security fixes for packages in the APT archive for oldstable and oldoldstable releases.

Besides, I am a philatelist, a semi-occassional drummer, an avid reader, and have perhaps mastered the art of sticker fights!
