Meet the Maker: Y. Siva Sai Krishna (ysskrishna) – Building, Learning, and Sharing Along the Way

If someone told me a few years ago that I’d be building tools that other developers and creators actually use, I might have laughed. But here I am.
Hi, I’m Y. Siva Sai Krishna, or ysskrishna online. I’m a full-stack developer, tinkerer, and lifelong learner from Bengaluru, India. My journey has always been about one simple thing: curiosity. Curiosity about how things work, how technology can make life easier, and how I can use what I learn to help others.
I’ve always believed that the best way to learn is by doing. From my early days experimenting with Python scripts to building full-stack apps with React, Next.js, and FastAPI, I’ve realized that hands-on experience teaches you things no textbook ever can.
I love the “aha” moments—the ones where a piece of code finally works after hours of debugging, or when a small utility I wrote actually saves someone time. Those moments remind me why I do this.
For me, it’s not about having a long list of projects—it’s about solving real problems. Whether it’s a small tool that simplifies repetitive work, an experiment with AI, or a utility that helps other developers launch projects faster, I focus on creating things that are practical, accessible, and useful.
Sharing these tools openly is just as important to me. I believe knowledge grows when it’s shared, and I want other developers and creators to learn, iterate, and build on top of what I create.
Over time, I’ve built a toolkit that allows me to move from idea to execution quickly:
Backend: Python, FastAPI, Express.js, GraphQL
Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Elasticsearch
AI: OpenAI, LangChain, Google Generative AI
Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Docker, GitHub Actions, Vercel, CI/CD pipelines
This mix lets me experiment across the stack and bring projects to life—whether it’s a small utility or a polished product ready for the world.
One of my favorite parts of being in tech is the community. I love sharing what I learn—on GitHub, YouTube, or through blog posts. Helping someone solve a problem, watch them grow, or get inspired by a project I built… that’s what makes it all worthwhile.
I’m constantly learning from others too. Mentorship isn’t one-way; it’s a conversation, and I feel lucky to be part of a global network of developers who are curious, generous, and inspiring.
Honestly, I don’t have a fixed roadmap. Technology moves fast, and I love exploring new ideas, experimenting with AI, and seeing what problems I can tackle next.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: keep building, keep sharing, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Every project, every bug, every “why isn’t this working?” moment is a chance to learn and grow.

I’m always experimenting, sharing, and building—and if you’re curious about tech, development, or creating practical tools, I hope my journey inspires you to start your own.
