Hey, I'm Animesh Pathak 👋
Developer Relations Engineer @ Harness | Database DevOps • APIs • Testing • Open Source
I bridge the gap between developers and data teams, building and evangelizing scalable DB DevOps workflows. Previously DevRel at Keploy. Speaker, writer, and community builder across APAC — organized 40+ events in Bhubaneswar, Noida, and Bengaluru.
In the spare time I get:-
- I love reading books.
- Working on projects ideas.
- I'm always eager to discover new technologies and document my experience with them.
- Tinker >> Builder

Boy Scout Rule
I love open source. I am not a heavy maintainer of any large libraries, but I really like the boyscout rule. I contribute to things as I come across issues that I think other people might struggle with. This may be things that are overlooked by someone who is deep into the library. I 💕 a good onboarding readme with good example.
