About

I'm a Software Engineer who believes that Software Engineering is not about programming. For me, software engineering has been about learning to better understand the problems to be solved and being responsible about how my software influences the end-user. In my professional sphere, I am a Software Development Engineer working at Harness and an OSS contributor to LitmusChaos, a CNCF Incubating project. I am experienced in a slew of technologies such as: 1. Full Stack Development of end-to-end applications using technologies such as Node.js (Javascript), React.js, MongoDB, Python, etc. 2. Development of serverless backend architecture using PaaS cloud services such as Google Firebase (Firestore, Auth, Storage, etc.) and AWS (Lambda, API Gateway, S3). 3. Development of containerized microservices applications using Go (Golang), Docker, and Kubernetes. 4. Application integration with cloud platform REST APIs and SDKs, such as VMware vSphere, GCP Compute Engine, and AWS EC2. 5. Linux OS application development using Bash and Go with a keen focus on process management and inter-process communication. While I am not solving problems and writing code, I love to share my learnings with fellow software engineers with my technical blogs. I frequently write on a variety of topics including Chaos Engineering, Kubernetes, Docker, LitmusChaos to name a few. Additionally, I am always on the lookout to be a part of open source meetups and tech conferences, either as an attendee or even better, as a speaker. So far, I have been a speaker in multiple international and domestic meetups and conferences including: 1. DevOps Malayalam Meetup on Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos 2. Kubernetes Srilanka Meetup on Cloud-Native Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos 3. Cloud-Native Hackathon Workshop on Introduction to Cloud-Native Chaos Engineering 4. ChaosCarnival 2022 conference talk on Applications of Non-k8s Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos 5. CNC Chennai meetup on Litmus 101: Introduction to Chaos Engineering with LitmusChaos Beyond the buzz of the tech life, I cherish a steaming pot of coffee and a hardcover book on rainy days and a long walk through the woods on summer evenings.
