About
A builder, in his own words.
I'm Amith, a Product Engineer based in Kerala, India. I build web applications, Shopify apps, self-hosted developer infrastructure, and connected IoT hardware. Software and hardware interest me for one reason: turning real problems into simple, working tools.
I'm Amith, a Product Engineer based in Kerala, India. I build web applications, Shopify apps, self-hosted developer infrastructure, and connected IoT hardware. Software and hardware interest me for one reason: turning real problems into simple, working tools.
I focus on shipping clean products rather than collecting frameworks. Most of what I build starts from a task I got tired of doing manually, like bulk contact conversion, automated email queues, or IoT sensor dashboards.
Philosophy
How I think about work.
Ship the leanest version that solves the problem, test it with real users, and refine based on real feedback.
Great UX should feel effortless. The product should shine, not the underlying complexity or hype.
Values
What I try to hold onto.
Curiosity
Digging deeper into systems, Linux kernels, and APIs. That is where real engineering happens.
Craftsmanship
Building reliable backends and fast user interfaces, caring about code quality and user experience.
Efficiency
Architecting software in the most cost-effective, hyper-optimized, and performant way possible.
Community
Building in the open, mentoring fellow developers, and sharing knowledge through open source.
Interests
Things that pull my attention.
Current Focus
Building Shopify apps, Shop Minis, and iOS apps as a Full-Stack Developer at FinalApps, while setting up self-hosted Docker servers, going deep on DevOps, and keeping everything locked down securely.
What I’m doing nowFun facts
A few true things.
- Most of my favourite tools started as a manual chore I refused to keep doing by hand.
- Self-hosting my own servers taught me more about Linux and networking than any course.
- Based in Kerala, India, building products and mentoring developers locally and globally.
