About Vivek

Vivek is a full-stack developer based in Mountain View, California, who writes about experiences with different technologies on the blog heyvivek.com.

Vivek is building WebJs, an open-source, AI-first full-stack JavaScript framework based on web components. It server-renders pages and components to real HTML and needs no build step or bundler, and it is designed to be small enough for an AI coding assistant to read end to end. Vivek previously built Recroo AI, a tool for running automated job interviews with AI, which is no longer online.
