Rutwik Hiwalkar is a full-stack software engineer with six years of experience building web applications and UI-driven features, currently based in London. He contributed to the popular Frappe low-code framework and Frappe Cloud projects, improving editor tools, calendar and gallery components, and adding site search and awesomebar features. Comfortable across Python, JavaScript and Vue.js, he bridges backend integrations with polished frontend UX fixes. At Frappe he handled both functional patches (email, subscriptions) and UI/UX refinements, showing attention to both reliability and user experience. Now at Solarblocks Energy, he applies his practical engineering skills to production systems while continuing to explore open-source work. He describes himself with a playful curiosity—“breaking the simulation”—and prefers Linux as his development environment.
