Hello! I'm Shuvam (he/him) 👋

I am a software designer currently noodling with making open-source observability easier at SigNoz 🍜.
I make things on the internet — digital toys, generative art, small experiments in new media that no one asked for but I could not not make. It's hard to call myself just a “software designer,” lest I reduce the strange, unnecessary, overly-obsessed things I keep making. Most of my practice has been solitary, somewhere between tinkering and spiralling—interfaces, tiny tools, odd games, new media experiments that I treat with an almost unreasonable seriousness. I insist, perhaps annoyingly, that playful things deserve rigour too.

You'd often find me tinkering with ideas on programming interfaces, languages, urban design, computational art, and human computer interaction ⎯ working on projects like Sonder and Loop, or roaming around clicking photographs.
In the past, I've worked with good folks at places like The HTTP Archive, DeepSource,Openhouse, Solana, and Luru
