Gunj Joshi is a pragmatic software engineer with three years of experience building high-performance backend systems and numeric libraries, currently contributing to core JavaScript standard library work and serving as a Software Engineer in Test at The D. E. Shaw Group. He has a strong open-source pedigree—GSoC contributor in 2024, GSoC mentor in 2025, core contributor to stdlib-js where he implemented C-backed mathematical and trigonometric functions, and an Open Source Intern at Quansight focused on vectorized universal functions. Gunj combines research exposure from a quantum research internship at IBM with practical contractor and mentorship roles (Mercor, FOSS Overflow, BetaLabs), showing an ability to move between research, production code, and community leadership. A frequent speaker at international conferences (JSNation, FOSSASIA) and a top-ranked competitive coder in India, he pairs concise technical delivery with developer advocacy. Based in Rajasthan and pursuing a B.Tech (Hons) in Computer Science at IIIT Kottayam, he often bridges low-level C implementations and high-level JavaScript APIs—an uncommon blend that accelerates numeric computing in JS ecosystems.
