Hi, I’m Gyan!

I’m passionate about making things for positive social impact.

I currently work as a freelance software engineer — let's talk if you or your organization has a problem which could be solved with code.

Previously, I worked as a software engineer at Datavant, a technology company connecting the fragmented American healthcare data ecosystem to improve patient outcomes.

I’ve been designing websites and user interfaces for 10+ years and run a studio called Hyper Textile.

I hold a B.A. in Physics from Grinnell College. I live in Brooklyn, NY.

P.S. I’m interested in a full-time software engineering role at a mission-driven organization. If you think there might be a fit, let me know!
