About
Hey, I’m Lakhan Samani from India 🇮🇳.
I’ve been building software since 2013 — starting as a freelancer during my college years, and moving into full-time roles in 2016. I enjoy building practical solutions and contributing to open source.I tend to keep things simple — both in code and in life — and follow a minimalist approach.
What I’m Doing now
- Working as remote senior software engineer for Qdrant

- I’m the creator and maintainer of authorizer.dev, a database independent open-source authentication and authorization solution.
