A bit about me
Originally from Kerala, India, and now based in Melbourne, Australia.
I like clean systems, thoughtful design, and software that simply works. I'm the kind of person who gets oddly satisfied by a perfectly structured project, a tiny automation that saves time, or fixing a problem that has been annoying people for far too long.
During the day, I work as a Technology Consultant and Software Engineer at OpenText, helping organisations design, manage, and improve reliable enterprise systems and solutions.
Outside of work, I spend my time building small tools, experimenting with new technologies, exploring AI, and creating products that solve problems I personally encounter. I enjoy sharing what I learn along the way through projects, experiments, and writing.
