Comfortable both coding and managing, Ankit contributes to open-source projects—improving developer tooling like the popular readme-md-generator and adding core features to Foam and React Native—which highlights his hands-on full-stack and mobile experience. He’s skilled at migrating monoliths to service-oriented architectures, improving test infrastructure, and shipping user-facing features while keeping engineering practices and culture healthy. Based in Gurugram, he combines product sensibility with operational rigor, often stepping into CLI, testing, or UX details that many managers leave to engineers.
