I am Akash Joshi !

👋 About Me

I currently work as a Senior Frontend Developer at Hash, where we run simulations on the web, and are working on a new way to run applications on the web. My day-to-day involves using NextJS (w/ TS), Apollo GraphQL (client + server), MDX, Tailwind and framer-motion.

I'm also responsible for the complete developer support ecosystem which runs on top of NextJS with statically generated pages from a remote GitHub repository. We recently made a migration away from Gitbooks, and you can check out our current website here.
On the side, I work on growing casparser.in where I learn about the business side of things like talking to clients, taking user interviews and hiring + managing people.
I started my career with Open Source, and continue to make projects on my GitHub. Some of them are:
1. A web framework which blurs the boundaries between client and server
2. A reimplementation of React hooks in Typescript, making my own UI library.
3. An implementation of BlackJack in React, with animations using framer-motion, which I built in ~4 hours.
I also tried being an Indie Maker on ProductHunt, creating a few projects which make me ~50 USD a month in passive income.
