About

I want to divide this page into two parts: about this site where I get into why and how this site exists, and about me where I will brag about how awesome I am 😛.

About this site

This site exists because I get the on and off urge to write out my thoughts, particularly (but not limited to) things I am working on, places I have visited or random trivia that may not be every useful to humankind.

The site is running on Ghost, a headless Node.js CMS, hosted on a $5 DigitalOcean droplet with 1vCPU and 1GB of RAM. In the day and age of cheap hardware resources, this website is my experiment on running a public website with minimal resources (there is literally no smaller droplet available with DigitalOcean).

About me

By way of introductions, my name is Abhishek Dey Das (yes my last name has two words). My day job, as a Sr Software Engineer, is working on software that runs Apple AppStore. On weekends, I like to play with technology, dream about products, travel and dabble with photography.
