01 about

Engineer first,
pixel-pusher second.

  based: "Chennai, Tamil Nadu",

  currently: "shipping side projects",
};

I'm a developer who cares about the parts users never see — the query that got 40× faster, the bundle that lost 300 kB, the deploy that stopped waking people up at 3 a.m. I like turning fuzzy problems into small, boring, reliable systems.

Comfortable across the stack: React and TypeScript on the front, Node and Postgres behind it, containers and CI holding it all together.

I build things
that ship.

02 stack

Tools I reach for.

Interfaces that stay fast on a mid-range phone, not just on my laptop.

  • React

</>

Backend

APIs with clear contracts, sane errors, and boring, predictable behaviour.

  • Node.js
  • Express
  • Python
  • PostgreSQL
  • .NET

Infra & Tooling

Repeatable builds, short feedback loops, deploys that are non-events.

  • Docker
  • GitHub Actions

  3. 2022

    Freelance & Open Source

    Shipped client sites and started contributing patches to tools I use daily.

  4. 2021

    First lines of code

    Started with Python scripts, got hooked on making the browser do things it shouldn't.
