Say hi

Hi, I'm Tushar.

Tushar Dave, smiling

Software engineer with five years of shipping production software. Still learning, and always looking for small ways to be useful.

The story so far.

  1. 2017: The app that took me to Silicon Valley.

    I taught myself Android to build College Conexion, a network that helped juniors connect with their seniors. That app earned me a place on a student trip to Stanford, Berkeley and Google. When I came back, I started a coding club so students could learn together.

  2. 2020: Writing it down.

    During lockdown I wrote a weekly letter for students in small colleges, about habits, failure and taking the first step.

  3. 2021–25: Learning the craft.

    I joined the industry: TCS, then Bold Finance, then Sprinto. Most of my focus went into learning how real software is built and shipped for businesses. Alongside, I kept building a few things of my own: CrossTalks in 2021 and Saadhana in 2022.
  4. Now: Building again, in public.

    Now I'm putting more of my time into building my own things, one small product at a time, and sharing what works and what doesn't along the way. I recently built a small tool called LoseMyPass for iPhone users. Do check it out.

Letters, videos and a podcast from my college days. I'm not working on these actively anymore.
