Hi, I'm Gaurav

I like simple ideas and complex systems. Rust, crypto, and the pursuit of things that actually work.

About

I'm a curious mind with a keyboard, trying to out smart complexity one line of code at a time. I turn wild ideas into things that actually work (after a healthy amount of debugging and coffee). If it feels impossible, impractical, or slightly insane that's usually my kind of problem.

fix(payment-card): accept cards through last day of expiry month

Merged
Jun 2026

Fixed a bug where payment cards were incorrectly rejected during their entire final valid month. Patched expiry validation in both payment-card and payment-details-two components to compare against the first day of the following month, aligning with card-industry convention. Both shadcn registry JSONs regenerated.

fix: Remove date from whitepaper page

Merged
Sep 2024

Modified the Static Layout component on ethereum.org to conditionally hide the 'Page last updated' timestamp on the /whitepaper route, fixing a UX issue where an auto-updating date was misleadingly displayed on a historically fixed document.
