Mostly writing, sometimes coding.
👋 Hi there! I'm Anmol - a technical writer obsessed with writing valuable stuff for the developer community.
Worked with a lot of funded startups (including YC-backed), some valued at over $50M and reached a combined audience of 1.8M+ audience combined on dev.to/anmolbaranwal (primary) and medium.com/@anmolbaranwal.
A little more about me:
- Graduated in 2024 with 100% scholarship in CS
- Been featured 4x as a Top Author on Devto
- My open source guide was picked by official GitHub community
- Runs my OpenSouls discord community of 400+ members (best place to talk to me).
- At some point in my journey, I have done UX designing, research, software development, content writing and more.
- Check all the details at anmolbaranwal.com!
💜 I have spent around 2 years in open source. Contributed to many open source projects, joined 600+ discussions and earned a lot of reputation. Love the ecosystem.
I code for fun and keep learning new stuff :)
