After ~6 years at Amazon, it’s day one again. It’s been an honor serving Alexa Developers. Next, I’ll be doing my own thing. Something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Working on some exciting projects, starting with an SMS-first app for first-time parents. More on that soon 🥳 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) November 17, 2021
What am I doing now?
By day you can find me at my desk cooking up beautiful code. By night, when I’m not catching up on the re-runs of Seinfeld, I sometimes disappoint people with my jokes at comedy clubs in NYC.
Some more stuff about me
I like Lego, a lot.
I have long been fascinated by LEGO bricks. But growing up in India, LEGO wasn’t exactly a mainstream toy back then. I didn’t buy my first set until I was into my 20s. Now, I can’t stop. Also, can I use it to track my habits? #ship30for30 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) April 24, 2021
Seriously, a lot.
You don’t need an app to track your habits. Be a child again, and track anything you want with LEGO Bricks. It is fun, visually motivating, and at the end, you have a trophy built brick by brick. Here’s how I do it👇🏽 #ship30for30 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) May 20, 2021
I am curious about random stuff.
Why is a “small” size shirt the same price as an “XL”? How is it that a pair of “28L” pants are priced the same as “34L”? Is it some sort of a scam? I had to find out. #ship30for30 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) April 9, 2021
Like I said, random stuff.
Earthworms fascinated me as a kid. They were out on the school ground every monsoon. Do they change color when you sprinkle salt on them? No. They die. #ship30for30 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) April 16, 2021
I worked at Hallmark store in Northern Virginia for a year when I first immigrated to the US.
When I moved to the US, I dreamed of working at Microsoft. Instead I landed at a Hallmark store. #ship30for30 — Amit Jotwani (@amit) April 12, 2021
