Hello! Welcome to my blog!
I am Shalabh Aggarwal. This is my small space on the web. I am an Indian by birth and hail from Noida which is a small suburb around Delhi (the capital city of India). I have been writing code and building softwares since I was 10 years old and when I think about it, I have come a long way since then.
What do I work on
I started my career working on Python, and that too with platforms like OpenERP (now Odoo) and Tryton but quickly ventured into everything Python. Although I have worked on multiple technologies throughout my career, I remain a Pythonista at heart. Apart from Python, I have worked on JavaScript (mostly Angular and ReactJS), Golang among others followed by major focus on architecture and system design around Microservices and Serverless. For the last 5 years or so (as of 2024), I have been focusing on building and leading self-organising high-performance teams for some very successful startups in India and South-east Asia.
Lately, I’ve developed a strong interest in Artificial Intelligence — especially the practical applications of LLMs and agent-based systems. I’ve been actively exploring and experimenting with different aspects of AI, from prompt engineering and RAG-based systems to building AI agents that integrate with real-world workflows. It’s been an exciting learning journey where I get to blend curiosity with hands-on experimentation, and I’m constantly looking for ways to apply these learnings to solve meaningful problems.
This blog!
The topics that I will be blogging about would mostly be from my experience on the technical leadership and technologies that I have talked above. I will try to keep adding new technologies and leadership aspects to my skillset and will keep on sharing more stuff as soon as I can here.
Last but not the least, I am the author of Flask Framework Cookbook series of books. These books are my humble attempt to help fellow engineers learn Flask in an easy and comprehensive manner.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I hope my blog has been worth your time. If I can help you with anything, feel free to contact me or leave a comment.
