About

I'm Vivek. I build mobile apps 📱, mostly iOS right now, and I do it from Bengaluru. Before that I spent a long stretch on Android, Cordova, and React Native, with some Node.js and Spring Boot on the backend. Swift and Kotlin are what I reach for first.

I use this space to think out loud 💭. Mostly it's about the work: what I tried, what broke, what I'd do differently next time. The rest is whatever else has my attention. I read 📚, tinker with electronics 🔧, play games 🎮, watch movies 🎬, and listen to a lot of music 🎧. Some of that will end up here too.

On the side I make small apps at Defyner. BookTrail is one I wrote a long time ago, a way to scan your books and keep track of your collection. I've started maintaining it again. I'm also working on a new one meant to help people read more regularly, which I need as much as anyone.

Nothing here is advice. These are just notes.
