Shrijal Acharya
Developer Advocate at Composio and software engineer
I build AI agents and developer tools, then write the guides that help other engineers ship them.
I work mostly in TypeScript, Python, and Go, and deploy with Docker and Kubernetes on GCP and AWS. Every project I build comes with a write-up, so other developers can follow along and build on it.
I also write for freeCodeCamp and DEV. Earlier, I led a development team at Oppia Foundation for three years and ran community workshops as a Microsoft Gold Student Ambassador. And yes, I use Vim and Arch, btw.
