Sriraman Panneerselvam makes our experiments better, he is all about building, experimenting, and fixing. As Upflowy’s Senior Software Engineer, this is perfect!
Short Bio:
I’m a passionate Software Engineer, I’ve worked on mobile and web applications for around 7 years. A big believer in helping others, I actively contribute to developer communities like StackOverflow, Hashnode, and many others.
Hobby/Fun Fact about yourself:
I love traveling! Prior to the pandemic, I was traveling regularly. When the pandemic first began, I was overseas backpacking in Thailand. I was lucky enough to return home to India before it went viral. In adjusting to the life that pandemic has put to the world, watching movies became a new hobby.
Personal Growth Story:
I like to build, break, and fix things. I’m interested in using technology to make a social impact. I started writing programs in school just for fun. My love for coding heavily influenced my choice to study Computer Science Engineering, with high expectations. Unfortunately for me, college didn’t satisfy my coding thirst. My college only provided an outdated syllabus, which meant I couldn’t learn much through Engineering. The Internet was my savior, finding many online resources to learn new things. This lead to my most recent addiction, programming. Like any practice, regularly experimenting makes our experiments better.
