Hello
My name is Gourav Dhar
I started "The Geeky Minds" with the goal of offering readers a glimpse into my thoughts and experiences as a software developer. What started out as weekly posts ( on topics like system design, information security etc. ) is evolving into a dynamic site packed with information about various topics that are near and dear to me. Take some time to explore the blogs and see for yourself what makes you curious and eager. Read on and interact with the community!
