Raju has long been in the pursuit of hermeticism across the development stack by championing immutability during development (with languages like Clojure), deployment (leveraging tools like Docker and Kubernetes), and provisioning and configuration via code (toolkits like Ansible, Terraform, Packer, everything-as-code).Raju is also the author of JavaScript Next: Your Complete Guide to the New Features Introduced in JavaScript, Starting from ES6 to ES9, Apress, October 2019.

Raju一直以來都在開發堆疊中追求密閉性，他在開發過程中倡導不可變性（使用像Clojure這樣的語言），在部署中利用Docker和Kubernetes等工具，以及通過代碼進行配置和設置（像Ansible、Terraform、Packer等工具）。Raju還是《JavaScript Next: Your Complete Guide to the New Features Introduced in JavaScript, Starting from ES6 to ES9》一書的作者，該書由Apress於2019年10月出版。
