Hi there!

I am Shrikant. This is my blog/website where I write stuff about the work I do and things I've learnt. Feel free to browse and reach out if you want to say hello.

Hello! We're building Appsmith, an open-source internal tool builder with drag-and-drop widget builder and integrations with several databases and REST APIs. Check us out at appsmith.com, or the repo at GitHub.

Also checkout my current weekend project, Prestige: a simple text based HTTP client for API developers (like Postman) at prestigemad.com, or the repo at GitHub.
