I'm Rakesh. I've been working as a software developer for more than
five years, creating UX-first experiences with code, creativity, and
pragmatism.
A bit about me
Started my career at a design agency — developed a UX-first mindset and an
eye and appreciation for visuals. Now, working with a small product team
building a data driven platform.
I believe in iterations rather than making perfect plans.
For most of my career, I have worked with React and NextJS
and occasionally with Golang.
