Hey! I'm Phani Chandar, a software developer who loves building practical tools that solve real problems. By day, I work on enterprise software, but my real passion is creating side projects in my free time. I've built a retirement corpus calculator to help people plan their financial future, a pension calculator for navigating retirement options, and several other apps that make complex calculations simple. I work across the full stack—from legacy systems to modern cloud platforms—and I'm currently exploring how GenAI can automate tedious development tasks. I write about tech on this blog, mostly focusing on AWS, cloud architecture, and the interesting challenges of modernizing old systems. Based in Sydney, always tinkering with new ideas.
