Hey, I’m Libin.
I make complicated things feel simple.
I’m a product engineer, designer, and co-founder at Animall. I build products for everyday life – and small tools that make work a little easier.
From a farmer’s phone to a developer’s workflow.

THE COMPANY I’M BUILDING
From one marketplace to a family of products for rural India.
Animall started by making cattle buying and selling easier. Today, we’re building focused products across animal care, farming advice, expert guidance and rural commerce.
Animall
Co-founder & CTO
I work across product direction, engineering, platform systems and monetization — helping the team turn difficult problems into usable products for millions of farmers.
Different products. Different users. The same standard: make the next step obvious.

The questions I care about are practical:
- Will someone understand what to do next?
- Does the experience still make sense when something goes wrong?
- Are we making the task easier, or just moving it onto a screen?
The complexity belongs in our systems — not in the farmer’s next step.
I like building at both ends of the scale.
Products used by millions—and products built because one person needed something better.
BUILT FOR SOMEONE CLOSE TO HOME
My father just wanted to check his lottery tickets.
My father is in his 70s and regularly checks Kerala lottery results.
Most existing sites were crowded with ads, small text and long result lists. A simple check meant zooming around a page and scanning hundreds of numbers.
So I built a simpler one for him.
Kerala Lottery Check uses large, readable type, works in Malayalam and English, has no ads, and lets him check the last four digits instead of searching through the full result.
Remove everything that gets between someone and the answer they came for.
Large type
Easier to read.
മലയാളം + English
Use the language that feels natural.
4-digit checker
Search instead of scanning.
No ads
Nothing competing with the task.
TAKE SOMETHING USEFUL WITH YOU
Don’t just look around. Try something.

Does this combination work?
Put colors side by side, preview text against a background, and check contrast before committing to a palette.

Good ideas deserve readable type.

These checks cover text contrast, not the accessibility of an entire interface.

I didn’t stay in one lane. The work kept connecting them.
Each role pulled me a little closer to the whole product.
2011–2012
Erident Technologies
Web Developer
Learning by building. Web development, WordPress and the foundations of interface design.
2012–2017
Perk
Creative Director
Design became a team sport. Leading design and frontend as the company and product grew.
2017–2019
Pratilipi
Growth Engineer
From screens to behavior. Performance, architecture and experiments connected engineering with product growth.
2019–present
Animall
Co-founder & CTO
From building a product to building a company. Product, engineering and systems started becoming one problem.
FROM AN EARLIER CHAPTER
Erident Custom Login
SoldA WordPress plugin I built because the one I was using broke and there wasn’t a good alternative.
I released it in 2012 and kept improving it for almost a decade.
By 2022, Animall had become my focus and I could no longer give the plugin the attention it deserved, so I sold it.

Historical work. I no longer own or maintain it.
Design taught me to notice the details. Engineering gave me a way to change them. Building products keeps me asking whether the change actually helped.
FROM THE NOTEBOOK
A few things I keep coming back to.
Not rules. Just patterns that keep proving useful.
01 · PRODUCT THINKING
A number is not an answer.
A usage bar says 70%.
Is that comfortable or concerning? Without time, context and a next action, it’s just a number.
Showing data is easy. Helping someone decide what to do next is the product work.
02 · SIMPLICITY
An account is a product decision.
Some products need accounts, shared data and a backend. Some need a text box and a button.
I like asking what a product can leave out, not just what it can do.
Every extra requirement should earn its place in the user’s day.
03 · SHIPPING
The first version should finish a job.
A small first version shouldn’t feel like half a product.
It should help someone complete one useful task well enough that they’d come back.
Ship something complete enough to learn from.
FROM AN EARLIER CHAPTER
I’ve been writing on the web for a while.
PWAs, frontend engineering, WordPress, performance and things I learned while building.
AWAY FROM THE WORKBENCH
Still curious. Occasionally offline.
I’m from Ranni, a small town in Kerala.
Most days now are split between building Animall, making small tools that solve things that annoy me, and spending time with family.
Away from screens, I’m usually playing badminton or table tennis, hiking somewhere, gaming, or convincing myself a long drive is a perfectly reasonable way to spend a weekend.
I’m married to Honey (opens in a new tab), and we have two kids, Raphael and Rebekah.
Long before product dashboards and pull requests, I spent my college years directing and editing short films. A few of them still survive on YouTube.
Watch some very old films (opens in a new tab)Some habits haven’t changed. I still like making things just to see what happens.

JUST FOR FUN
Some things are allowed to just be fun.
Small games, experiments and things I built simply because I wanted to.
Poovanpazham
A little piece of Kerala childhood, rebuilt for the browser.
A traditional two-player game I used to play with friends growing up. Place three pieces, then move them one step at a time until someone gets all three in a line.
I rebuilt it online mostly because I wanted the memory to keep existing somewhere.
- Strategy
- JavaScript
- Childhood nostalgia
Snake
Because every developer eventually builds Snake.
My version of the classic. Eat, grow, avoid yourself, and keep going until you inevitably make one bad turn.
- Arcade
- HTML5 Canvas
Fruit Rush
Fast reflexes. Fruit sorting. Increasing chaos.
Sort fresh fruit into the green bin and rotten fruit into the compost before they drop.
Build combos to increase the speed, keep your streak alive, and survive three mistakes before it’s game over.
- Arcade
- Reflex game
- Mobile-friendly
LET’S COMPARE NOTES
Building something useful?
I enjoy talking with people who care about the problem as much as the product.
A difficult user experience, a technical decision with no obvious answer, or a small frustration that deserves a better tool — those are usually good conversations.
Tell me what you’re working on.

A little context makes a better conversation.
Tell me what you’re building, what’s stuck, and why it matters.
