About

I know firsthand how frustrating APIs, docs, and integrations can get. That’s why I’m building tools that remove the busywork and let developers focus on what they actually want to build. My goal is to make working with APIs feel simple, intuitive, and even a little fun. Outside of building, I love swimming, running, and contributing to open source. Always happy to connect, learn, and hear your feedback—it means a lot as we shape Swytchcode together.

How We're Riding the Post-Launch Wave and What's Next

A few weeks ago, Swytchcode launched on Product Hunt and became the #1 Product of the Day.

The launch was exciting, but what happened after has been even more interesting. As we close out the year, here's a quick and honest update on what post-launch life looks like for us and where we're headed next.

The State of Open Source 2025 - Key Takeaways

GitHub recently published this year's Octoverse, the state of the open-source ecosystem.

Below are my key takeaways:

  1. AI doesn t replace developers it brings more people into the ecosystem. A new developer joined GitHub every second in 2025. Top 5 developer populations: 1. United States, 2. India, 3. China, 4. Brazil, 5. United Kingdom.

  2. Open source remains the foundation. Fastest-growing OSS projects by contributors include @Zen Browser, @VS Code, and AI-focused @Continue.

  3. TypeScript is now the most used language on GitHub, overtook both Python and JavaScript. The AI effect? 80% of new repositories used just six languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, and C#.

  4. Gen AI is now standard in development. 1.1M public repositories now use an LLM SDK.

  5. Agents are here. Coding agents created 1M+ pull requests (PR) in the last 6 months, and it's just getting started.

Are you going to relaunch a product after a long time? What should you do? Tactical steps

Last night I opened LinkedIn for a moment, and at that moment, someone wrote to me who is going to relaunch a product after a year and a half. (Yes, I do not have anything to work on Friday night, don't blame me, I do not have a social life) :D

Needless to say, a lot has changed on this platform in a year.
