Exeami

Little about me…

Hi πŸ‘‹, I'm Amitha Lingala, aka exeami. I'm a Software Engineer, currently living in London.

I enjoy creating stuff, be it a DIY craft that recycles things around the house or some new recipe to try, or code which does cool things.

Also, I like things organized and ends up spending a lot of time planning.

I have a very low online presence, you can't find me on Twitter or Instagram or any other social media besides LinkedIn (where I have zero activity), and the best way to know me more is this website.

About this website

This is my personal website, this site is always under development as I am learning and changing things here constantly. After spending quite a lot of time (few years) experimenting and building everything from scratch, I recently moved the site to Ownetin April 2026.

I am slowly importing my old posts when I get the time. The site is still a work in progress, and timestamps didn’t carry over, so my old posts shows recent dates even though the content might be out of date.

Also, Ownet is in early stage, and I am one of the early testers, so be mindful that it will be buggy. Feel free to create an issue hereif you find any and help this really cool project to be even more amazing!

Exeami πŸ€”?

When I decided to make my website, I couldn't figure out what to name it. I wanted something simple, small and with my name in it. After considering a lot of combinations, I felt exeami is perfect as it is unique and available.

At that moment, it made a lot of sense, as I took Exe from Executable (I write code and create executables πŸ˜›) and Ami from Amitha.

What's in here?

As I have my personal website now, which is a great platform to share my thoughts on various topics, I will be sharing the things I find interesting. 

I care about women's rights, metal health and data privacy, so, mostly my writings will be around these topics. Apart from this, I will share about things that grab my attention.

You can find my blogs which generally are detailed articles and posts which are collection of some quick writings and things I find on the internet. I also have a few of my projects here.

You can subscribe to feeds for my blogs and posts now.

Best practices for better websites by Darek Kay

I found Best Practices for Building Better Websites by Darek Kay when going through Coding Otaku's Blogroll, which is very useful for someone like me who started learning website building. I started implementing a few things in my website after reading the blog.Darek has many more interesting blogs on accessibility that I have yet to explore.

Now, I am visiting some awesome websites with web rings and blog rolls that I did not see before with search engine results. It feels like a new world unlocked.

Mobile View

πŸ’­ Thoughts

When I was developing this website, It was a feat to make my website have the same look and feel in mobile or small screen devices as it is on my desktop. I had to compromise and make a few decisions to achieve it (I hope I did).

One day, when browsing, I stumbled upon Eduardo's website. The moment I saw this website, I fell in love with the styles and the colour scheme. It is so soothing, and the feel of the newspaper made me subconsciously immerse in the site. Then I shared it, and the person opened it on a mobile phone, and he did not understand what I was talking about. The mobile view for this site is good, and it is responsive design, but it did not do any justice to the desktop site. I felt sad as many did not experience what I did and might not even know that other version exists.

That day, I realized that many of us might be missing some wonderful things on the internet when we get stuck with small screen devices.

Organ Donation

πŸ’­ Thoughts

I like to believe most people are in favour of organ donation as it can save lives, and if not donated, organs are useless. The fact is, there are always more people waiting for the organs. When I think about it, maybe many support the idea, but because they never got to sign for it, organs are not automatically used to save or improve other lives.

Then comes the debate whether organ donation should be opt-in or opt-out. I might say it should be opt-out, as I can not comprehend why anyone not want to donate after death, but I know there can be reasons beyond my understanding.

So, the only solution is educating and spreading awareness about organ donation and letting individuals decide what is wrong or right for them.

If you support organ donation, not only signing up for it (if you are in a country where it is opt-in), but also talking about it whenever you can, might make a difference that you might not even realize. I wish the government and educational institutes add it to the curriculum so that people can decide early in their life, but as I can not control that, I will do what I can and hope you do what you can.

Story behind my logo

πŸ“„ Note

I use my logo everywhere online as my profile picture, and often people ask me about it. When you look at my logo, it might look like it doesn't have any meaning, but it does!

When I tried to design a logo for my website, I spent a lot of time (I am bad at it), and my best was this cute lion made out of letters in "exeami". I was very proud of it. But wherever I used it, the details of the logo were not visible. I was back to square one. I wanted my logo to be noticeable, even in favicon, and represent me.
Loin with letters exeami

After struggling with my logo design skills, I decided to use symbols instead of writing letters. Here is my logo.

infinity symbol in curley brackets

As you might already know, my name is Amitha which means boundless, limitless or infinite (which can be a perfect symbol for my logo). This is a platform to group my thoughts in one place using code, So the code block {}. Wrapping amitha in code block {∞} is what my logo is. I made some changes to make it look like a person with glasses (maybe it's just for me, as I stared at it long enough and imagined things πŸ˜›), I got my logo. I ended up using it everywhere not just in this website :).
