Hello world!

Welcome to my GitHub page

My name is Saksham Mittal, though I go by gotlou online. Feel free to go through my repositories for ideas of your own or for curiosity, or go to my website for more info.

I've been programming for a fairly long time, and tinkering with computers for much longer than that. In that amount of time, I'd say I've tried my hand at a lot of different aspects of computing:

• I've been daily driving Linux for ~7 years and am fairly comfortable with the command line (still learning shell scripting)

• I've messed around with MySQL and PostgreSQL, and am fairly adept at writing somewhat complicated but efficient SQL queries.

• I've learned Python, C, C++, Go and am currently experimenting with Rust

• I've built a website in the absence of any web frameworks or JavaScript.

• I learned Markdown to write better documentation and to also manage my own personal notes.

• I've learned how to use version control software to manage my projects and merge contributions in branches.

• I wrote a game with my friends called panzer.

• I then rewrote that game in C by myself here.

• I wrote a small Wordle clone here to learn JavaScript

• I am writing a peer to peer file transfer application in Rust using my own transfer protocol and implementing NAT traversal

I'll update this list as time goes on...
