I am a technology enthusiast with open attitude. All my years in industry have provided multiple opportunities. My current passion and focus is in designing and implementing scalable and performant distributed cloud applications. In recent past years I have been * building micro-services which rely on rest api for synchronous communications and kafka and akka for asynchronous communications * running platform team, building tools and guidelines that help other teams productionalize and manage their micro-services using Kubernetes and it's ecosystems * working on improving scalability and reliability of cloud-native applications Throughout my career I have worked at Java shops. So, naturally Java is my strength. Though I had multiple years of experience in javascript and golang. And definitely would love to work on other emerging technologies. One thing I wish did early in my career is read Atul Gawande's post "Slow Ideas". This quote summarizes it well"We yearn for frictionless, technological solutions. But people talking to people is still the way that norms and standards change" https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2013/07/29/slow-ideas I have interests in multiple things some of them are in orthogonal industries. Maybe that's my secret for stress free life. Feel free to drop me a message if you would like to discuss about * How does it feel to code in both java and javascript at the same time * Running stateful applications in Kubernetes * Reducing differences between tools used in development and production even when development teams aren't responsible for deployments in production * anything related to building and managing scalable, highly-available and distributed cloud-native applications
