About Me
I am a passionate Clojurian for the past three years. I have written a book that can help people learn Clojure, I run a Youtbe channel called Clojure Diary.
I am writing a tool called Injee using Clojure that will help front end developers create apps without much reliance on backend to be developed. I also have a hobby project named Kanipaan, a command line calculator written in Clojure. I have also written a search engine for static websites, called static site search using Clojure. I have released a versatile range library called rswan. I am in the process of learning Clojure Script and biff too.
In my past I have developed apps for companies like HealthiCity, Optoro, FiNavigator, Ecargoware, CyberLiver etc. (I am mentioning only the successful ones here). The tech stack I used was Ruby on Rails.
Recently as a freelancer, I consulted some companies on Prompt Engineering as a part time job, developing an investment platform for my friend, but I would love to have a Clojure job either as part time or full time.
