👋 Hello, I am Amit.

I am a Developer Advocate at DigitalOcean, where I help developers build amazing applications on the cloud platform. I create educational content, speak at events, and work closely with the developer community to improve their experience with DigitalOcean’s products.

Previously spent years advocating (speaking, writing, building) for developers at Amazon Alexa, Intel Mashery, and Retool.

On the side, I run Curious Mints, where I write simple technical guides—mostly things I’ve had to figure out myself and want to remember. If something took me longer than it should have, I turn it into a guide.

When I’m Not Writing, I’m Building. I’ve got a few side projects up my sleeve. They’re as diverse as my interests (Lego. Seinfeld. Python. Instant Pot). See what I’m up to.

Amateur Stand up Comedian My wife got tired of being my only audience, and signed me up for comedy classes. If you’re in New York, you may find me cracking sad jokes at local comedy clubs. She regrets the decision.

Check out my uses page for a full list of all the software, gadgets, and services, go-to Python libraries, and more.

Check out my blog for thoughts on DX, LEGO, Instant Pot, life, comedy, and more.
