Hi, I'm Mohit Srivastava, and this is my blog. I'll use this space to blog on topics that align with my professional passions. That means software, cloud, product management and entrepreneurship. That said, I spend a lot of my personal time on these topics, so it's not exactly a professional blog. Accordingly, the views here are mine and not those of Amazon, my employer.
Prior to Amazon, I was at Microsoft and ran a number of product management teams delivering web and cloud development products -- services, tools and SDKs. Recently, this has included Visual Studio Web tooling and Azure API development services. I love it because I get to keep my geek side up-to-date while interacting with all kinds of folks, external and internal. Prior to that, I was co-founder and CTO of Faves.com (formerly Blue Dot), a microblogging startup. We ultimately did not make it but had a number of successes along the way, including being named one of TechCrunch's "Web 2.0 Companies I Couldn't Live Without".
This blog is generated using Jekyll and hosted using AWS Amplify Hosting. Just because it is possible with Jekyll here are some stats. There are {{ site.posts | size }} posts in {{ site.tags | size }} categories which combined have {{ total_words }} words, which will take an average reader approximately {{ total_readtime }} minutes to read. {% if featuredcount != 0 %}There are {{ featuredcount }} featured posts, you should definitely check those out.{% endif %} The most recent post is {% for post in site.posts limit:1 %}{% if post.description %}"{{ post.title }}"{% else %}"{{ post.title }}"{% endif %}{% endfor %} which was published on {% for post in site.posts limit:1 %}{% assign modifiedtime = post.modified | date: "%Y%m%d" %}{% assign posttime = post.date | date: "%Y%m%d" %}{{ post.date | date: "%d %b %Y" }}{% if post.modified %}{% if modifiedtime != posttime %} and last modified on <time datetime="{{ post.modified | date: "%Y-%m-%d" }}" itemprop="dateModified">{{ post.modified | date: "%d %b %Y" }}{% endif %}{% endif %}{% endfor %}. The last commit was on {{ site.time | date: "%A, %d %b %Y" }} at {{ site.time | date: "%I:%M %p" }} UTC.
