Raju Gandhi is a programmer with over 15 years of experience in the software industry. He believes that the key to writing software that our users will cherish lies in having a keen understanding of the problem, and the tools available to solve those problems. He has been a core speaker on the No Fluff, Just Stuff symposium series for over 6 years, along with other conferences like DevNexus, Connect.Tech and GIDS, India. In both his careers as a software developer and teacher, he believes the key is to keep things simple, and in the words of Rich Hickey, "de-complected". This approach seems to scale well, for both maintainable software, and happy audience members.
