About me
Hi there,
I’m Vignesh, the author of the “Constrained Editor Plugin” – a powerful NPM package, which adds one of the most requested feature in the Microsoft’s Monaco Editor (#953). This package has gained significant traction in the open source developer community with over 700 weekly downloads and 60+ Github stars. I’m currently focused on learning Machine Learning skills to push the boundaries of technology even further.
With my extensive experience as a software developer, specializing in JavaScript and Python, I have a proven track record of creating visually stunning and functional user interfaces for web applications. At Zoho Corporation, I developed scalable Widgets and Web Components, optimizing features for enhanced performance. Notably, I successfully implemented Microsoft’s Monaco Editor Library, delivering an IDE-like user experience across different browsers.
I hold certifications in Generative AI and DeepLearning using PyTorch, showcasing my expertise in these areas. My passion lies in futuristic technologies like Large Language Models (LLMs), Reinforcement Learning, and Computer Vision, and I’m constantly seeking new opportunities to apply my skills and drive positive change.
As a highly motivated and results-oriented individual, I’m confident that I can contribute significantly to the field of technology. I’m a team player who always goes the extra mile and is eager to learn and improve. I’m available for full-time, part-time, or contract work and open to relocation if necessary.
Let’s connect and explore how we can collaborate to create innovative solutions together.
Thank you!
