About Me

A portrait of Anish Ojha

Hello! I'm Anish, a frontend engineer around 7 years of experience in crafting beautiful, performant, and accessible digital products. My journey in tech began with a curiosity for how things work, which evolved into a career dedicated to building intuitive interfaces that delight users.

My Philosophy

I believe that great software is born from a blend of art and science. My frontend philosophy centers on three pillars: user-centricity, robust architecture, and continuous improvement. I strive to write code that is not only functional but also maintainable and scalable, ensuring long-term value for any project.

When I'm not coding, you can find me listening to music, exploring stuff related to space, watching anime or experimenting with my cooking skills :P
