👋 New Here? Introduce Yourself!

Welcome to the Retool Community!

As @ChiEn likes to say:

“This forum is the brainchild of Stack Overflow and Reddit :rofl:

This thread is where new builders drop in to say hi. Each week, we'll tag a group of fresh faces — so if you're new here, jump in and introduce yourself!

A few easy prompts:

  • :earth_africa: Where you’re based
  • :hammer_and_wrench: What you’re building with Retool
  • :game_die: A fun fact about yourself!

All the cool builders are doing it… and it’s just better with you here. :green_heart: :wink:

So many new builders to welcome this week!

Up top you’ll see a few prompts to get started: :round_pushpin: where you’re based, :technologist: what you’re building, or a :question:fun fact.

But honestly, a simple “hey everyone :wave:” works too. The magic here is just getting that first reply in — that's how the best conversations here get rolling. :wink:

:wave: Hi everyone, I am Kamalaprasad

I am a Quality Automation Engineer at Centene Health Care Corporation via Cognizant and create automation workflows with UiPath, PEGA, PowerShell, AWS, and Azure to automate and make claims processing efficient and smart. I have also worked at DevOps at Cantaloupe Inc and built IaC pipelines and conducted RPA workflow integrations and as a Software Engineer at Farmers Insurance Group and handled cloud automation, SQL pipelines, and Salesforce test automations.

Some of my all-time favorites to work with:

:rocket: Scaling up automation frameworks with UiPath, PEGA, and .NET
:globe_with_meridians: Full-stack and cloud-native application development with React, Node.js, Docker, and Kubernetes
:bar_chart: RPA + AI Pairings (LLMs to verify APIs, find anomalies, Salesforce copilot)
:file_cabinet: Data processing with SQL, NoSQL (MongoDB, Cassandra), and APIs
:hammer_and_wrench: GitHub/GitLab Actions, Jenkins, and Octopus CI/CD pipelines

Fun fact: aside from tech, I represented my state (Tamil Nadu) at cricket :cricket_bat_and_ball: and was a rated national-level chess player :chess_pawn:. I also love to watch anime, sitcoms, mainstream shows, movies, read a lot of sci-fi, fantasy books, same genre with movies, I love pop music, I also love making small animation stuff.

I’m here to network with other builders, share learnings from work with automation, cloud, and DevOps, and get inspired by all you all are doing. Happy to chat and collaborate here!

Big welcome to all the new folks joining us this week! The more builders, the better this community gets :rocket:

:point_right: Just reply with ONE of these:

  • :round_pushpin: Where you’re building from
  • :zap: A tool you can’t live without (Retool or otherwise)
  • :wave: Literally just “hi”

That’s it. No pressure! The best conversations here always start with a quick hello.

It's been a HUGE week in the Retool Community! Did you see our announcement at Retool Summit in SF yesterday? We got to meet so many of you in person, and we're thrilled to keep the energy going here online.

:high_voltage: We also launched Assist — turn words into fully functional apps. Try it out and share your first build with the app-gen tag here in the forum. Each week we'll pick winners for a prize :sports_medal: and a feature in the Builder Digest newsletter.

:raising_hands: Your turn: Say a quick hello below! Just drop your name, what you're working on, or even a fun fact. (No long intro needed — one line is perfect!)

Hello Retool Community!

Glad to be a part of such an amazing Community, I’m very excited to share my knowledge and gain some useful insight about the coming and useful features in the app industry.

I also love and also made some useful tools that I think can be very beneficial for people, and moreover, I’m planning to add an advanced feature in it over time.

Will again say, Proud to be a member of such an amazing Community.

looking forward to everyone.

Regards
