Hi, I’m Shiv. I’ve been doing this professionally since 2007 and for the joy of it since the early ’90s, using more languages and technologies than I can remember the names of at this point. I’ve put a number of projects here on GitHub in the last few years, and I write about all sorts of things elsewhere.
The important stuff: I’m a longtime Emacs user who’s painstakingly built a development environment on Windows through many experiments—though I happily use Linux too—and a staunch believer in an accessible, progressively enhanced web. (Don’t get me started about displaying static text via JavaScript.) I’m also obsessive about typography and, shall we say, ‘particular’ about my name.
Recently, I’ve worked with a lot of TypeScript (and a bit of vanilla JavaScript), Java, Python, and my current favourite, Rust. I’ve also been exploring DevOps; the more interesting parts are over on GitLab.
If you need to get in touch, you can reach me via email.
