Rishi Banerjee
Hi, I’m Rishi. I'm a full time entrepreneur and a part time philosopher. I lead engineering at a B2B SaaS startup as of now. I try to build small games, automation scripts and build apps that make life easy (or hard). I use vim btw! & I mostly write stuff in Python/Dart, plus I firmly believe I have a great music taste. I’m a wannabe polyglot, fascinated by how language shapes thought and connects us. There’s something about getting inside a language that brings you closer to a culture. I am based out of Bengaluru, so hit me up if you are in town.
