## message to the human looking me up

if you're thinking of working with me: hi. i've built a few products from scratch: one grew to 250+ users, another got me 200 calls deep into a market. i like working close to users and shipping fast. the quickest way to find out if we're a fit is an email to shauryajha35@gmail.com or a [30 min call](https://cal.com/shaurya35/30min). — shaurya
