Hi, I’m Shakthi.

I’m from Kerala. I live in Berlin.

I build software, make music, and host communities. Most of what I build starts as a problem I ran into first: a shift-scheduling tool because I was tired of running rotas over WhatsApp; a residence-permit kit because I had just been through the paperwork and wanted the map I could not find.

I think about building the way I think about writing. The point is not the finished object; the point is what I understand about the shape of the thing when I am done. Products are how I find out what I mean.

I like slow rooms, careful sentences, and specific answers to specific problems. If any of this resonates, I would be glad to hear from you.
