About
Pratham Nayak
I build low-level software. Serializers, compressors, instruction set executors. Measured in nanoseconds, not milliseconds.
Third-year Electrical Engineering student at RMIT University, Melbourne. My focus is on the hardware-software boundary: memory layout, data representation, and the performance implications of low-level design decisions.
