Avinash Joshi

Co-founder & CTO

I'm a Rails programmer, a builder and love coding. I fell in love with computers at a very young age. Over the years I've shipped products across various programming languages and frameworks, including HTML+CSS, PHP, Python, Django, React, Angular, and Rails. From right-click save as HTML to left-click vibecoding, I've built it all! I have a simple mantra - "It’s Possible."
