👋 Hi there! I’m Siddhant Rao, a Master’s student at USC, Software Engineer, and passionate enthusiast in Distributed Cloud Systems, System Architecture, and Open Source.

Here you can find my Blog, Projects, and Resume.

Outside of code, I enjoy music, movies, rock climbing, reading, painting, and origami. I’m also a sucker for a good sunset, cats, and otters <3

For anything else, feel free to email me!
