My name is Siva. I currently work as a front-end engineer in Zoho.
I contribute to web apps built with EmberJS at work. When not rolling out features or fixing bugs, I help in improving the performance of our web apps by hunting down memory leaks and trying new patterns that could make our apps faster to our users. I also built several internal tools and frameworks that are used by about a hundred developers everyday.
I am a seasoned trekker and love the sounds and smells of jungles. I have done a few exploratory treks, opening up new routes in the South Indian mountains. I am also an avid astronomer and run the Chennai Astronomy Club with the help of other volunteers.
You can get in touch with me on Twitter. You can also check out my GitHub profile where I host all my code and contribute what I can to some open source projects.

There is a 200-300ms interval between a user hovering on a link and actually clicking it. If we use this time to prefetch the target route's model in our Ember applications, the app will feel faster and users will have a better experience. Implementing this in Ember apps is trivial. We can make ...
