Welcome to Rishi'spersonal corner on the Internet

Principal Software Engineer at Progress Chef, crafting DevSecOps solutions that bridge development and security. Passionate about building resilient systems and exploring the endless possibilities of code.

Currently open to freelance collaborations and open source adventures. Let's create something extraordinary together!

What I Craft & Create

Passionate about building meaningful digital experiences through code, design, and storytelling

Full-Stack Development

I build web applications that work hard and look good — APIs that scale, UIs that perform, and code that's built to last.

Let's center some divs

DevSecOps Engineering

IaC, compliance automation, and policy-as-code to secure and scale infrastructure across cloud and on-prem without the headaches.

How I ended up here

Mobile Development

iOS and Android apps that feel native and work smoothly. Built with React Native to move fast without cutting corners.

I have got an app idea!

Writing

I write about what interests me — from web performance and architecture to photography, philosophy, and whatever else catches my attention.

Read my rants

Photography

Landscapes and quiet moments caught in light. I chase texture, composition, and the stories a single frame can hold.

My humble muse-yum

Open Source

Contributing back to the open source community. I share ideas, fixes, and tools that might help others along the way.

Enough talk, show me the code
