- I’m Sibi, a software developer based out of Vancouver, Canada. I am super enthusiastic about learning and building stuff related to Computer Science.
- Currently, I’m working as a Senior Software Engineer at JustWatch, buiding and optimizing the backend infrastructure for the scale.
- I also contribute to the open-source projects and maintain a few of my own. Few of the recent OSS contributions are, Github’s CLI tool and dev.to.
- When I’m not coding you can find me doing photography or deadlifting to cheer myself!

These properties make JSON an ideal data-interchange language....
Linked lists in Golang explained with real world application
The linked list is one of the most important data structures in the Computer science world. Almost every developer at some point in their career would have come across this data structure in one or the other way. What is Linked list and why is it important to be considered it as the fundamentals in Computer science? As the term denotes linked lists are nothing but the nodes are linked to each other....
