Aiju Thomas is a software engineer with 15 years of experience based in Kerala, India, currently building software at teewsak. She is a pragmatic problem-solver who contributes to both product code and open-source tooling, notably fixing PCB editor bugs and improving router stability in the popular KiCad project. Her hands-on work spans debugging elusive crashes, refining net selection logic, and enhancing UX by adding options like disabling autopanning in the GAL canvas. Comfortable navigating complex, low-level issues in domain-specific tools, she brings steady reliability to maintenance-heavy and feature-driven engineering. Colleagues can expect a developer who pairs long-term software stewardship with practical improvements that directly enhance user workflows.
