JavaScript Engineer. Loves computers, travel and astronomy.

Hello! I'm Siva. I am currently working as a JavaScript Engineer at Zoho. My work involves building applications with Ember and React. I love writing applications that are user-friendly, performant and accessible.

I also like travelling and stargazing. This site is where I write down some of my thoughts, mostly related to programming but I also touch upon my other interests at times.

You can contact me on Twitter or send me an email.

Here are some of my blog posts and talks.
