ABOUT ME
Polyglot Developer with a diverse skillset.
Polyglot Developer with a diverse skillset.
Open source enthusiast, Polyglot developer with a preference for Functional Programming, Developer of Unity Tweak Tool.
I usually prefer mentoring, pair programming, code review and debugging sessions. I love mentoring. I have working knowledge of most common programming languages, a habit of digging deep into docs & sources, and a fine-tuned intuition to guide me when I get lost.
Python, modern JS, Erlang/Elixir and git are my forte. Currently exploring Haskell in depth.
I have worked with a wide variety of languages, including mainstream languages like Python, Node, C, C++, Java, Ruby, relatively obscure and specialised languages like XSLT, VHDL, relatively recent, modern languages like go, Rust, Elixir, and more. Additionally, I have a few years of systems administration experience.
Earnings from here will be partly used to match donations to Akshayapatra, a non profit, every March. All my sessions carry an implicit promise of full refund if you are not satisfied, no questions asked. Nobody asked for a refund yet. Students get a special discount for mentoring and tutoring sessions. Please ask for the discount if you are a student and need it.

Elixir is a beautiful language that marries the power of Erlang VM to ruby's syntax. I've designed, developed and deployed multiple elixir applications in production, handling tens of thousands of concurrent users reliably.
I take pride in building reliable, fault tolerant and performant elixir applications, writing beautiful macros, and knowing when not to use them.

Erlang is the ideal platform for developing applications that demand extreme concurrency. I'm an active contributor to emqttd, an MQTT broker, best suited for internet-of-things messaging systems.

Javascript is the defacto universal language these days, running on pretty much every device that can run complex programs.
I have been working with js since 2013, and closely followed its evolution. I prefer to work with React on the frontend with Redux/MobX for state management, and express on the backend.
I can help you write idiomatic, readable javascript using ES6 syntax, setup your build tools, teach React, Redux, and functional programming in js in general.

Python is the ideal language for a beginner owing to low ceremony and very readable syntax. Python is the go-to language for data processing and analysis for most teams across the world. I have developed desktop applications, web applications, and data analysis pipelines in python, including one huge runaway success - Unity Tweak Tool, listed in top ten things to do after installing Ubuntu consistently since 2013 by most mainstream blogs.

I have been using git for years and know it inside out. I conduct workshops on Git best practices. If my sessions don't have a significant and measurable impact, I won't accept your money.
I have a reputation for being able to recover any data that can be recovered, after any accidental data loss due to bad usage. You can also find me on #git on freenode IRC most of the time.

I have been a vim user ever since I begun programming. Besides emacs, to which I give a special little exception, no other editor comes close to the flexibility and raw power when it comes to text and code editing. I can not overstate the productivity improvements that come with understanding the ins and outs of your editor, and vim is a perfect programmers' editor thanks to its customisability and huge plugin collectioon.
I can teach you the "language" of vim, and you will never have to struggle to remember a command ever again.
