Jai Pandya

Software Engineer & Maker


Hi!

I build things for the web. Been doing it for 15+ years now, and I still get excited when something I make actually works.

Work History

SlideShare → LinkedIn

Joined SlideShare when we had a handful of servers and left when we had... a lot more. Was there for the LinkedIn acquisition and the chaos that followed. Learned that scaling a product is 20% tech and 80% figuring out what users actually want.

Side Projects & Startups

I've started a few things, shut down a few things, and occasionally built something people actually use. Check out the Projects folder.

What I Work With

  • Frontend: React, TypeScript, Next.js
  • Backend: Node.js, Ruby on Rails, Postgres
  • Deployment: Vercel, AWS, Docker

How I Think About Code

Most problems don't need clever solutions. They need obvious ones that won't confuse you six months later.

"The best code is no code at all. The second best is code that's easy to delete."
