My name is Parthiv Menon. I was bitten by the development bug back in college, and spent the years since honing my craft as a full-stack developer—fixing production deploy crashes, debugging failing CIs, the never ending spiral of JS and CSS libraries, all of it. Somewhere along the way I got involved in the open source community, which gave me the belief that anyone can be the change the world wants to see. These days, I've stepped into a newer challenge—I work on Platforms and Infrastructure at Google Cloud.

I went to an aquarium once and saw fish fighting for food. It was an underwater coral.
