About Pankaj
The technology behind Ritva Living.
My engineering philosophy
Build useful tools. Make the site accessible. Keep the platform maintainable.
I'm Pankaj Singh Chauhan, Technical Lead and Platform Engineer at Ritva Living. I build and maintain the website, application architecture, and publishing tools behind the publication.
My brother, Suraj, leads editorial research, writing, editing, and SEO. I work on the shared site components and editorial dashboard used to manage our articles and media.
I consider the needs of both readers and editors. My work focuses on accessible interfaces and reliable publishing workflows, while keeping the platform clear and maintainable as Ritva Living grows.

How I approach the work
I make technical decisions by considering what readers and editors need from the site.
01
Understand the need
Start with the task a reader or editor needs to complete.
02
Choose a maintainable approach
Use the site's shared components and existing Next.js patterns where they fit.
03
Check accessibility and performance
Review how the change works across devices, input methods, and network conditions.
04
Test before release
Use type checks, tests, and review to catch problems before changes reach readers.
My principle: Build what readers and editors need, and keep the implementation clear enough to maintain.
