Prince Yadav.

Senior Backend Developer at Deel, Go and PostgreSQL

I build backend systems: pricing, data migrations and event-driven services, mostly in Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL and AWS. On the side I make Grayout, contribute to open-source tools I use, like Prettier and Twenty, and have written ~200 tutorials. Now at Deel; previously at Tata AIG and HDFC ERGO.

Project

Grayout v1.5.0

An Android app that keeps your phone in grayscale, so it's a little less compelling to pick up. I designed and built it end to end.

  • Schedules by day and time, with a Today strip
  • Kept in color: Camera, Maps or Photos stay in color
  • Automatic restore turns gray back on after a few minutes
  • Quick Settings tiles
  • Fully on-device, no network access
