Rishi Banerjee

Hi, I’m Rishi! Full-time entrepreneur, part-time philosopher, and currently leading engineering at a B2B SaaS startup. I spend my time building small games, writing automation scripts, and creating apps that make life easier—or at least more interesting. I write stuff in Python, Ruby, and Dart, and yeah, I’m one of those Vim enthusiasts. Also trying to pick up new languages—because? Based in Bengaluru, so if you’re in town, hit me up!
