Bhushan Gaikwad

I'm building Alfred Scholar, a page-cited research workspace for scholars. It brings reading, discovery, citations, writing, and review into one place.

My work covers product decisions, application code, cloud infrastructure, operations, growth, and customer support. I also contribute fixes upstream when the tools I use can be improved.

• Product: React, TypeScript, Vite, Astro
• Backend: Laravel, PHP, Go, PostgreSQL
• Infrastructure: AWS, Cloudflare, Terraform, Docker
• Engineering: GitHub Actions, observability, automated testing

I prefer simple systems, short feedback loops, and shipping useful software over unnecessary abstraction.
