Hello, Rinas here 👋

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

This is a work in progress About page where I note down all about myself.

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.

Please come say hi at [email protected] (yes, literally a hi)

A bit more about myself?

I'm 32 years old, 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

My 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 :)

Now I'm trying to simplify everything and improve the quality of life by being mindful about how I spend my day. In short, I am optimising for health, happiness, and simplicity 🧘
