3 quotes

I have been working with Rishi for about two years now. He assists us with developer relations and content creation activities. Typically, I briefly explain a project, and he builds it impressively in a short period. I highly recommend him for engineering and software development projects.

Enes Akar CEO · Upstash

Rishi collaborated with us to create educational and technical articles showcasing the Koyeb serverless GPU offering. He is highly responsive, with great technical writing skills, able to tackle a wide range of topics. His contributions really helped us scale our content production.

Edouard Bonlieu Co-Founder & CPO · Koyeb

We collaborated with Rishi for a few tutorials/articles on HarperDB. He was great to work with, set clear expectations, and produced the content we were looking for! Great resource for the dev community.

Margo McCabe Head of Partnerships & DevRel · HarperDB
