I currently work as software architect in a software-first robotics company

At the same time, it’s futile to define myself with a title. I think it won’t do justice to many aspects of life. Professionally, I have shades of programmer, software engineer, management, leadership, hustler, software architect and couple of other things. I like to believe that I am good at solving problems from first-class principles. There is long list of things I have to learn or be good at. It means I am nowhere near the perfection I aim for

Problems with actual use-case excite me. I have keen interest in R&D with equal emphasis on prototyping and developing. I take interest in

• Software architecture
• Distributed systems
• Networks and communication
• Microservice architecture
• Kernel design
• Programming language design

Personally, I like photography, travelling and programming. I also take immense interest in reading about astrophysics. My interests have often evolved and drifted. I am sure I am missing some of them

Random thoughts

• I declare with full acceptance that I am addicted to Reddit
• For the longest time, I was or rather I am addicted to Stephen Colbert’s monologue
• Concepts are more important than technology nitty-gritties but a healthy balance needs to be there
• Performance is not an additional add-on; it can be a first-class feature itself (e.g. Algolia)
• Mathematical reasoning is far more important than variational calculus in real life
• Canon, nikon and others are charging far too much because the market is willing to pay for it

I will keep appending few more or put them in a separate blog post if the list becomes huge
