I’m a nomadic web developer specialized in writing semantic markup and clean stylesheets. I have 2.5 years of experience working with Responsive Web Design, typically on Ruby on Rails projects.  
I'm the co-founder/CEO at [https://codecrafters.io/ CodeCrafters] (YC S22).  


I can help you with the following:

== Presence in Fedora ==
In the past, I was a member of Fedora's design and design infra team.
 
I have been involved with the Fedora Project since 2013. Over the years, I have found myself helping out in multiple ways:
 
'''Design Team'''
 
* Co-authored [http://glittergallery.net GlitterGallery], a collaboration tool for open source designers.
* Along with Suchakra, led the redesign of the Ask Fedora Project
* Conducted front-end best practices workshops at local conferences
 
'''Ambassadors Team'''
 
* While in college, led the Fedora community, working towards attracting more Fedora users, and introducing potential contributors to starting points
* On a regional level, conducted installfests and workshops on a variety of topics ranging from generic FOSS introduction, version control, web development in Indian universities
* As Ambassador for the Asia Pacific region, helped with budget planning and conducted technical workshops at South East Asian universities and conference environments
 
'''Mentoring'''
 
* Mentored Kalpani Anuradha over Google Summer of Code 2015 to work on the Ask Fedora redesign project
* Mentored Aditya Prakash over Google Summer of Code 2015 to work on the GlitterGallery project

I hang out in several communities and try to help where I can.
