Hi, I'm Arjun 👋

Full-stack engineer who turns ideas into products. I love building tools that make other developers faster.

About

I started coding to build a score tracker for my school cricket team and I have been shipping side projects ever since. Today I build developer tools at a startup in Pune, and on weekends I help first-time contributors land their first open source pull request.
