Hello, Rinas here 👋

This is my personal blog where I write as I navigate through life.

Husband, Father, Software developer. Currently, I am working at Inline Manual as a product engineer.

Passion project: HiFive. It's an iOS app but more importantly this is me learning how to improve my health and building tools for it. 

A bit more about myself?
  • I'm in my 30s
  • Father of 6 year old boy. 
  • Living in Dubai with my family. 
  • I'm from Kerala, India

Craft, Skills
  • I had an interest in computer earlier but got deep into building websites while pursuing electronics engineering.
  • Tried to make some money building websites during college days, stumbled upon php, javascript, ruby, rails. 
  • 10 years later I'm still building software using rails and getting paid for it 

Job, Marriage, Dubai
  • I have been building apps and websites since my college days. 
  • My first proper full time job was in Bangalore.
  • Company went fully remote a year or two before covid, I moved back to my hometown in Kerala.
  • Thanks to remote work catching up, started working for companies outside India. 
  • Got married. 
  • My wife love Dubai and wanted to visit (since lot of people in her family in Dubai)
  • I had 0 interest until I visited. Now I love this place and living here as I type this :)

These days I am working towards improving the quality of life by being mindful about how I spend my day. 
In short, I am optimising for health, happiness, and simplicity 🧘
