Damodharan Thulasiram
ABOUT ME
I build for all things web.
Intrigued by design, armchair philosophy and anything CS. I am driven by a strong sense of need to improve the quality of life through the products I design and create.
I come with a hybrid background in both backend systems and frontend technologies. I am also a Programming languages enthusiast and dabble with Rust, Lisps and other FP languages in leisure in many miniature side projects.
