About
The person behind the code, the camera, and the curiosity.
Rishi Kumar Chawda
Principal Software Engineer, Chef team at Progress
Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
I thrive on challenges and love pushing the boundaries of what's possible in software development. My journey has taken me from freelancing to leading projects at Codebrahma, and now to my current role at Progress Chef, where I focus on DevSecOps tools that empower developers and operations teams alike.
When I'm not deep in code, you'll find me capturing moments through my lens, experimenting with new recipes, devouring books and articles, hitting the trails, or chasing after the next adventure.
With over 8 years of experience in the tech industry, and a couple more as a freelancer, I've had the privilege of working on diverse projects from developing scalable web applications to contributing to DevSecOps tooling at Progress Chef.
