Rishi Raj Jain
About
Hey, Iβm Rishi Raj Jain. I'm Ambassador at Storyblok, and currently looking for new full time roles (previously, Technical Customer Success Manager at Edgio).
I love to bring a positive attitude to the table, and like to spend my free time in nature or enjoying myself with family and friends. (Ultra) Bullet Chess is my favourite sport.
Timeline
Lately, Lemon Squeezy was under the bus for a slow support. They hired me to fix it. Already killing it with the team by bringing down the tickets from 800 to 250.
Not the skin this time, a simple problem statement. Bookings in institutions are manual. It's a pain in the ass. Launched the SaaS bookspace.rishi.app in a month on Product Hunt that aims to automate the handling of bookings in an institution.
I was laid off in the later rounds of re-structuring at Edgio. The time I had was an exponential learning and exposure. Notably, Ajay Kapur, Howie Ross, Patrick Saweikis, Ishan Anand, Tevfik Sertel, Tom Mount, Jeff Patzer, Petr VeΔeΕa, Aleksandar Perkucin and Raees Iqbal have been the best colleagues anyone could've asked for. Read more about it here.
Freelanced for a New Delhi based Real Estate client with Svelte, Storyblok, Upstash, TailwindCSS, Satori and Edgio, and rolled acri.page to production in a week.
I was exposed to the in-person technical sales experience for which I'm grateful to the folks at Edgio. Presented the whole platform Layer0 (acquired by LLNW) to one of the India's biggest OTT player, and education platform, including other notable technical prospects in JW Marriott Hotel Bengaluru.
I love it when my contributions are recognized. Read the Storyblok tweet presenting me as their latest Storyblok Ambassador.
For the first time, took on the face (not quite literally :P) of the company at YouTube and recorded 7 tutorial videos, demonstrating the process of deploying various frameworks to Edgio. More on rishi.app/videos.
My skin had been itching to take on some big private provider with an Open-Source alternative that's much faster and uses some cool tech. Launched itsmy.fyi in a week, and received an overwhelming response. Read the launch tweet, and read the 28-hour update here.
Freelanced for a New Delhi based Research Group, The Ahuja Lab with Astro, Storyblok, TailwindCSS, and Vercel, and rolled ahuja-lab.in to production in a week. Read the case study here.

Giving back to the community, tools and technologies is one of the most rewarding things to me! Read about my journey here.
Establishing an online presence is hard, isn't it? Have you tried to launch your own blogs only to get stuck trying to do it "the right way"? I've been there. I'd waste time dealing with complex tech instead of bringing out myself. Then, I started building my portfolio from scratch with Next.js, TailwindCSS, Storyblok and Layer0 and believe me, it's the best tech stack ever. The session was all about how I deployed a performance-first, incrementally static regenerated blogs without compromising my requirements. Slides
