Software Engineer at Plane
Building the systems behind collaborative knowledge.
I’m Vipin Chaudhary, and I own major parts of Wiki engineering at Plane—AI-assisted documentation, realtime collaboration, and Collections.
My work sits where product and infrastructure meet: local-first Yjs editing, Hocuspocus sync and persistence, presence, permissions, and AI changes people can review before they land.
