About

Abhith Rajan is a Dubai-based full-stack software engineer — .NET and Azure on the back end, TypeScript with React, Angular and Vue on the front — shipping since 2012.

I’m Abhith Rajan, a software engineer from India who has been shipping production software since 2012 — the last decade of it in the UAE. Today I’m on the IT team at National Air Cargo, working out of Dubai Airport Freezone.

I work across the whole stack. On the back end that’s .NET and .NET Core, with SQL Server and Cosmos DB underneath; on the front end it’s TypeScript with React, Angular or Vue — whichever fits the product and the team. Then I own the path to production: Azure infrastructure, GitHub Actions pipelines and the monitoring that tells us when something drifts. I care about clean architecture, boring deployments and code the next engineer can pick up without a tour.

Along the way the domains changed as much as the stacks: enterprise software in India, client products in Abu Dhabi, construction operations, a deep dive into fintech and credit data at Emcredit, and now air cargo.

This site is my public notebook — what I build, break and fix across .NET, Azure, the JavaScript ecosystem, DevOps and developer tooling — plus the snippets and links I keep coming back to.

You can find me on X, GitHub and LinkedIn, or say hello — email works too: abhith@pm.me.

Background

My journey began at Aabasoft in India, where I joined as an intern right after my B-Tech and stayed for over three years. In 2015 I moved to the UAE, and I’ve been building software here ever since — the full git log is below.
