More About Me

Outside of work, I enjoy reading books and posting reviews on Goodreads. I’m also a big fan of cricket and football, and I rarely miss a good match.

When I’m not coding or reading, I’m usually exploring new technologies, experimenting with cloud architecture, or trying to understand why distributed systems behave like chaotic toddlers when left unsupervised.
