Hello! I'm Siva. I am currently working as a JavaScript Engineer at Zoho. My work involves building applications with Ember and React that are used by thousands of customers. I also write and maintain several internal applications and frameworks that are used by other developers.

I love writing applications that are user-friendly, accessible and performant. I also like travelling and stargazing. This site is where I write down some of my thoughts, mostly related to programming but also touch upon my other interests at times.

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

Here are some of my featured blog posts.
