Hi there ๐Ÿ‘‹

  • 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!
