Web performance workshop at @react_india with @trina_choudhury @geekayush #webperformance
Ayush Srivastava
Software Engineer with interests in performance, DX, design systems, and AI toolings.
I'm a human who's slightly more fluent in JavaScript than in English and has been in a committed relationship with computers since childhood. A certified dark mode devotee — not because it's cool, but because my eyes feel light when everything else is dark. I believe tabs > spaces. I enjoy building things that scale, perform, and just work. Outside work hours, you'll find me experimenting with frontends, obsessing over DX, or trying to get my Strat to sound like Blackstratblues.
