Software Engineer · Talview · Bangalore, India

Software engineer in Bangalore. At Talview I've been the most active contributor to our frontend monorepo over the last year — building product UIs, offline-first data layers and embeddable apps, and leading the migration of our legacy systems to a monorepo. Outside work I ship developer tools and full-stack side projects.
