I am a Software Developer from Bengaluru currently based in California. I am interested in Web Technologies as it helps to develop ideas faster and help reach a wider audience. Its stress on Accessibility, Performance, and Security has strengthened it more. Although I have around 12 years of overall experience and have a breadth of knowledge in web technologies, I still felt the need to understand the depth and this blog is all about trying to start from primitive concepts and building on top of it. Thereby hoping it helps others who want to go through the same journey.
