About Meself 👋

That mandatory page on every portfolio...

Hi, I am Kaushal Joshi from Mumbai, India. I am a jacks of all trades and master of not giving up. I can code web apps, write technical blogs, documentation, and API specs, manage newsletters, and everything I am thrown at.

I worked at The Dapp List for around two years. I was responsible for developing and maintaining internal tools, implementing new features on products, writing API specs, and a lot more. I also work as a Freelance technical content writer, and write blogs around web dev, open source, AI, trending topics, and anything that I'd get paid for.

Unlike many engineers these days, I have a life beyond my job and tech stack. I like to watch films, go on treks, read books and obsess over a niche thing for months. My current obsessions are public infrastructure & public transport, French revolution and literature.

I watch films 🎬

I watch films... a lot! If I had to choose one career path instead of computer science, it would have been film analysis & criticism. Sometimes I still think of taking a break from everyday life (read: job) and do a course on understanding cinema.

Here are my five favorite films of all time...

I read books 📚

A relative always recalls a story from my childhood. He says I used to read everything I was thrown at — even newspaper wrappers! These days I read whatever interests me. And it's almost always something non-fiction, historical or informative. Recently I am trying to grasp my mind on short stories.

Here are my recent favorite books...

I write Stuff ✍️

I already told you that I write technical blogs and stuff. But that's not it! I also write about films, music, TV shows, history, and anything that fuels my brain with curiosity.

It's not the best piece of literature out there, but hey! I absolutely love the process, so who cares?

I am working on bringing them all together at one place at Afterthoughts. Until then, you can read them on Facebook (Yes, I still use it).

My Magnum Opus

Afterthoughts Memento

Space Odyssey and life lessons

Afterthoughts Everything Everywhere All At Once

Learnings from Stanley Kubrick obsession

Therefore, I am! ✨

I am the places I visit, books I read, films I watch, feelings I experience, thoughts I write, quotes I save and most importantly, things I am obsessed over.

Without these, I don's feel like myself.
