About me

• I'm from India and currently live in and work remotely from Berlin
• 👯 I’m always looking to collaborate with some intersting open source projects
• ⚡ Fun fact: I love Geography and Books

Quirks

• When in long meetings, I tend to get distracted and often find myself ⌘+↹-ing to a different window (I used to previously catch myself using my phone, so I keep it away from me now). I'm working on this but please call me out if you notice I'm not paying attention.

• I typically work long hours, so you might receive an email or message from me at unholy hours; you don't have to read or reply immediately if you're not working, and I don't expect you to work at the same times.

• I'm still learning how to transition from developer to manager, so you'll likely have to bare with my lack of discipline when it comes to important managerial responsibilities like setting up projects well in advance and providing useful feedback.

• I tend to think and talk fast, so I might jump in while someone is still talking and try to finish their thought. This is also something I'm working on, so if you say "Let me finish", it'll make me feel like I'm a prick and make me much more conscious of this.

• I have been told me that I am "very good at things [I] want to do, and so bad at things I don't want to do". I want to do a better job at tasks that are important, but those I'm not particular excited about.

What I value & how you can help me

• Keeping things in the open: Just like this README, I keep my OKRs and everything else I can, public. If it's not public, it's shared internally with the team (e.g., my calendar and life updates). I value transparency, even in the little things like posting in Slack/Teams channels rather than direct messages.

• Feed me back: I piked this incredibly useful habit up from my Mentor -- asking for feedback. If we have a one-on-one meeting, I highly value receiving feedback on how I can improve personally, do my job better, or help you do your job better.
