About me

Developer, teacher and tinkerer

I am Arjun, a full-stack developer based in Berlin. I like small teams, clear writing and software that is still pleasant to maintain in five years.

Outside work I mentor junior developers, maintain a few open-source libraries and cycle too far on weekends. If you have a product that needs building, I would love to hear about it.

My setup

Tools I use every day

A quiet desk, a fast machine and a short list of tools I trust. I keep my setup simple so the work stays the focus.

  • Editor and terminal

    VS Code with a minimal setup, and a terminal for almost everything else.

  • Fast feedback

    Hot reload, instant tests and small pull requests that merge the same day.

  • Boring technology

    Mature tools I can debug at 2 am, chosen on purpose and documented.
