I build fast, playful and accessible interfaces for the web. Right now I'm at Aftershoot, crafting tools that help photographers spend less time editing and more time shooting.
About me

I'm Anshuman Pathak, a software engineer currently at Aftershoot, working on the web side of an AI platform that photographers use to cull, edit and deliver their work.
Before that I built commerce tooling at Fynd, real-time calling and chat at Samespace, content tools at Compose.ly and dashboards at Rupyz. Most days you'll find me deep in React, Next.js and TypeScript.
You might know me as @anshumanxda. The handle goes back to my XDA days of building device trees and kernels for the Redmi 3S, long before I wrote my first useEffect.
