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!

About this page
This page consists of only two resources: the HTML and the picture.
The ‘appearing’ effect is achieved using the CSS keyframes feature, orchestrated by a compile-time Dart script.
This site is based on Filiph Hráček's original work on filiph/filiphnet, a minimalist, Markdown-first personal site generator.
I've forked and extended it with my own customizations — but the core elegance of the setup is very much thanks to Filiph's original vision and engineering.
