Hello, I am Amit.

Ex-@Amazon. Now doing my own thing.

I write about things I like - Lego, Python Programming, and sharing my workflows. I build things I like - howbigisthebaby.io.

After ~6 years at Amazon, it’s day one again.

It’s been an honor serving Alexa Developers.

Next, I’ll be doing my own thing. Something I’ve wanted to do for a while.

Working on some exciting projects, starting with an SMS-first app for first-time parents.

More on that soon 🥳

What am I doing now?

By day you can find me at my desk cooking up beautiful code. By night, when I'm not catching up on the re-runs of Seinfeld, I sometimes disappoint people with my jokes at comedy clubs in NYC.

Some more stuff about me

I like Lego, a lot.

I have long been fascinated by LEGO bricks.

But growing up in India, LEGO wasn't exactly a mainstream toy back then.

I didn't buy my first set until I was into my 20s.

Now, I can’t stop.

Also, can I use it to track my habits?#ship30for30 pic.twitter.com/0c7HmEAmSc

Seriously, a lot.

You don’t need an app to track your habits.

Be a child again, and track anything you want with LEGO Bricks.

It is fun, visually motivating, and at the end, you have a trophy built brick by brick.

Here’s how I do it👇🏽#ship30for30 pic.twitter.com/zGbDbiyYFD

I am curious about random stuff.

Why is a “small” size shirt the same price as an “XL”?

How is it that a pair of “28L” pants are priced the same as “34L”?

Is it some sort of a scam? I had to find out. #ship30for30 pic.twitter.com/LVpwBsAXTk

Like I said, random stuff.

Earthworms fascinated me as a kid.

They were out on the school ground every monsoon.

Do they change color when you sprinkle salt on them?

No. They die.#ship30for30 pic.twitter.com/dfe6KgGl64

I worked at Hallmark store in Northern Virginia for a year when I first immigrated to the US.

When I moved to the US, I dreamed of working at Microsoft.

Instead I landed at a Hallmark store.#ship30for30 pic.twitter.com/EcEL2hUHj7
