Kolhapur ki Mitti,
Pune ka Code

Hey! I'm Sandip Khot — a software engineer with a passion for writing clean, purposeful code. I grew up in the culturally vibrant city of Kolhapur, known for its Mahalakshmi temple, kolhapuri chappals, and legendary food. That grounded upbringing taught me patience, craft, and the joy of learning.

Today I work in Pune, one of India's tech hubs, turning complex problems into elegant software solutions. Outside the terminal, I'm a proud dad to two wonderful kids, a cricket enthusiast who dissects every over, and someone who loves diving into history books and staying sharp on current affairs.

What Makes Me, Me

Life is more than pull requests and deployments. Here's what keeps my mind alive.

🏏

Cricket

A true-blue cricket lover. Whether it's a tense Test match or a last-over thriller, I'm glued to every ball. I believe cricket is chess on grass — all strategy and nerves.

📜

History

Fascinated by the stories of civilizations, empires, and the people who changed the world. From the Marathas of Kolhapur to ancient world history — the past never gets old.

📰

Current Affairs

Staying informed is a habit. Politics, economics, technology trends — I like to understand the world as it unfolds, connecting dots across disciplines.

👨‍👧‍👦

Family Time

My world revolves around my wife Shital, daughter Aaradhya, and son Adhiraj. Watching them grow, answering their endless "why" questions, and being their biggest fan — priceless.
