Hi, I'm Vivek Agrawal

Independent software maker

I build software on the Web. My soul loves designing and building useful things for humans.

I enjoy writing as well. It takes me to the happy flow state. Here are some things I have written that you might enjoy:

My Maker Journey March 2024 — Present

I have tried making my own things. So far my attemps at making a business has failed. But I will continue building and I believe some day things will work out fine ;)

I started QA Rangers with the vision to build an AI agent that would help with development and maintenance of end-to-end automation tests.

I have written in detail about my QA Rangers journey here on this article.

Open Source and Contract Work November 2017 — March 2024

I remember when I first contributed to open source, I felt a sense of pride that the code I write can make some impact.

Open source led me to GSoC and to a well-paid contract work.

During these years, I learnt to code with Harvard's online programming courses — CS50 and CS50 Web. In my opinion, they are the best way to learn to code :)

I started at Learning Equality as a Google Summer of Code (GSoC) Student Developer. After GSoC, I worked as a part-time developer on contract basis.
