I'm Sandip, an engineer and a design thinker.
I am inspired by Steve Jobs on how to think in terms of design. His philosophy of connecting dots backwards helps me to connect everything with design. When I do coding I think in terms of design, I am not just writing code but rather i am architecting designing the system. I have never considered myself a raw coder but I always considered myself a design person, maybe because I have come from a design mindset. Taking this philosophy, I have understood that everything can be connected with design. For instance, when i write a piece of C# code, I am not just writing features with just clean and performant code, but I am rather understanding the existing design of how other code is written and leaning into it and improving the overall design so that it is easy to scale or extend.
I wrote more about how I choose tools and think about software, from idempotent payments to why the language should fit the problem, over on the blog.
Life at ITU
Moments captured from my master's at IT University of Copenhagen. Lots of handshakes, lots of project work, lots of learning.
First day at ITU ✨
An event at ITU organized by ESA
With my supervisor, Prof. Peter Sestoft
Copenhagen job fair 2025 with ITU colleagues
Convocation day 🎓
Graduation day, the whole cohort at MSc convocation 🎓Spinning Beer Opener
We developed an over-engineered beer bottle opener where a spinning wheel hits the bottle cap and flicks it very far away. An awesome project, and we learned a lot about integrating mechanical design, 3D printing, and Arduino coding, and made it happen with teamwork and a lot of duct tape 🧻.
