About

I’m a UI developer specializing in component-driven development, design systems and generative art. I’m a DX Engineer at Chromatic and a contributor to Storybook.

Originally from New Delhi, I currently live in Toronto. In my spare time, I write about creative coding from a front-end developer's perspective.
